Last night I watched The Maltese Falcon for the first time. A few things.

  • There really was a time when personal assistants were called sweetheart, darling, precious, honey and angel in a professional context.
     
  • I need more hats.
     
  • Peter Lorre.
     
  • "When you're slapped you'll take it and like it!"
     
  • Smoking is foul, but omg these touch tip table lighters they use in practically every scene.
