The Maltese Falcon is a 1930 novel by Dashiell Hammett, one of the best known novelists of detective novels of the first half of 20th century. Although the next year the novel had a first screen adaptation and a second comical one five years later, it was the 1941 version the best known of them. It was the first film directed by the, until then, screenwriter John Huston, who also penned the screenplay, and was starred by Humphrey Bogart. This is a MOC that I had tried to construct before, but it was the 3-difference contest of the Catbrick 2013 what finally put me in the correct path. It represents a scene of the 1941 film version, that you can see here, although I had to remove Mary Astor from the MOC as I did not have the adequate pieces to represent her. I am giving no more details in case you have not seen the movie or read the book. The MOC: The Black and White version is composed of the only four current colours in production allowed: White, Black, Light Bluish Gray and Dark Bluish Gray, except for the bird that has the old Dark Gray colour. And the question is, when turning to Black and White are the tones similar? There you have the decision: And some more photos. And finally a comparative photo where you can see the differences. I hope you have liked it. Yo have all the photos on Flickr.
