Overview: All of the Spade/Bogart/Hammett mythology must be put aside, then, as we consider the other films that Hollywood made from Hammett’s work. A few, like the two earlier versions of The Maltese Falcon, remain within the conventions of Hollywood detective comedies of the 1930s, but others participate in genres from the newspaper film to the gangster film to screwball comedy to postmodern pastiche. These films remain significant in themselves: nearly all were A- list projects of major studios with important stars and directors, and taken together they offer a profile of the interaction of Hammett’s work with the film industry, a case study of one author’s dissemination and diffusion through the cultural machinery of the cinema.
