Ticket prices are $12.50 for all seats, however, some cinemas may offer a discount for students, children, and seniors. Tickets may be purchased in advance at the theater, as well as online through the Fathom Events website and Fandango.
COVID-19 restrictions will be in place at most theaters, including masks, social distancing, and limited seating. Specific requirements are available at each theater’s website.
Originally released in October 1941, The Maltese Falcon celebrates its 80th anniversary in 2021. Throughout 2021, Fathom Events and the Turner Classic Movies channel salute nine decades of cinema history, from 1941 to 1996.
As Joel Cairo, one of the international criminals in search of the fabulous jewel-encrusted statuette of the title, Peter Lorre is the bridge between the movie’s two story lines – the murder of Miles Archer, Sam Spade’s (Humphrey Bogart) partner in their detective agency, and the hunt for the Maltese Falcon. This was Peter’s first movie for Warner Brothers, and his first film with Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet.
In the pages of The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, Stephen Youngkin discusses the on-screen and off-screen friendship of Peter and Bogie through numerous interviews with their mutual friends and co-workers.
The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre may be purchased from many brick-and-mortar shops, as well as these online merchants ~
