Classic Movie Club: The Maltese Falcon (1941)
May 3 @ 4:00 pm
The CLASSIC MOVIE CLUB presents:
Free bi-monthly screenings of Oscar-winning and/or Oscar-nominated films on Blu-ray that are shown on a giant screen using a newly installed high definition 4K video projector.
On Friday May 3, 2024, at 4:00 pm in the Santa Rosa Clubhouse’s Monterey Room, the club will screen:
“THE MALTESE FALCON” – the 1941 “film noir” written and directed by John Huston in his directorial debut, and starring Humphrey Bogart, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre, and Sydney Greenstreet. The film was a huge success with the public and critics, and it received three Oscar nominations: Best Picture, Sydney Greenstreet for Best Supporting Actor, and John Huston for Best Adapted Screenplay. The Maltese Falcon eventually became one of the first 25 films selected by the Library of Congress to be included in the National Film Registry as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".
After the screening, audience members can take photos of themselves holding a real Oscar statuette. Club membership is not required to attend our screenings.
