“The, uh, stuff that dreams are made of.”

Describe a better evening than a mushroom & garlic pizza, followed by a pint of Ben & Jerry’s, and a few chocolate chip cookies with some milk, all laid out to support a focused viewing of Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Sydney Greenstreet, et al, in John Huston’s 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon.

Favorite quote? Bogart’s exacting delivery of: “Miles hadn’t many brains but he’d had too many years experience as a detective to be caught like that by a man he was shadowing up a blind alley with his gun in his hip and his overcoat buttoned. But he’d have gone up there with you, angel. He was just dumb enough for that!”
