The Maltese Falcon was their first movie together, as well as at Warner Bros. Supporting roles in three more movies followed until mid-1944 when they were paired as the lead players in
The Mask of Dimitrios. For the next two years, Lorre and Greenstreet appeared in four more films, two as the leads, two in support. All nine of their movies are available on DVD.
