Sam Spade is a partner in a private-eye firm who finds himself hounded by police when his partner is killed whilst tailing a man. The girl who asked him to follow the man turns out not to be who she says she is, and is really involved in something to do with the `Maltese Falcon', a gold-encrusted life-sized statue of a falcon, the only one of its kind.  
          
SMB released this movie in 2001, but with a faulty aspect ratio:496x384. Even at that time, this was a violation of TDX rules; all TDX rules state the width must be 512 - 640 pixels. This is obviously not the case with the SMB release. Ofcourse, a sample of the SMB rip is included.                                    
                                                                              
There are several other reasons why our release is superior to the SMB rip, however, these should NOT be considered a part of the propering reason.                                          
                                                                              
* The resolution SMB facilitated introduced an AR error of around 3%, while our release has no AR error.                
* The SMB release used STEREO sound for a MONO source. SMB can't be blamed for this though; the rules at the time demanded that the sound would be encoded in stereo, even though the source was in mono. We encoded the sound in mono.  
* The video source slightly flickers and contains mosquito noise - we cleared this up with filters to make the movie better compressable and easier to watch.                      
                                                                              
For your viewing pleasure we also included the theatrical trailer of the movie and the mini documentary entitled "Becoming Attractions - The Trailers Of Humphrey Bogart", hosted by Robert Osborne. Subtitles are included; you'll find them in the subpack along with the subtitles for the main feature.  

We hope you enjoy our release.
