Not the more famous 1941 version, but a slick, chic and surprisingly good-looking early adaption of Dashiell Hammett's classic crime tale that first introduced indefatigable private eye Sam Spade (played with suave elan by Ricardo Cortez to moviegoers. The basic mystery is kept intact with Bebe Daniels starring as the shifty, untrustworthy lady who comes to Cortez and begs him to find a missing sister, setting up an accomplice who has stolen the Black Bird she covets.
