The Maltese Falcon Three-Disc Special Edition (1941)
This nominee for three Academy Awards – Best Picture, Supporting Actor (Greenstreet) and Screenplay (Huston) – solidified Bogart’s stardom and launched John Huston’s illustrious directorial career. An all-star cast (including Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr.) joins Bogart in this classic film noir story about hard-boiled detective Sam Spade (Bogart) and the gallery of lowlifes he’s after to find his partner’s killer as well as the jewel-encrusted life size statue of a falcon. Filled with twists and turns, the crackling mystery masterwork was based on Dashiell Hammett’s novel. The Maltese Falcon was added to the National Film Registry in 1989 and is #23 on the American Film Institute’s (AFI) List of 100 Greatest Movies.
This all-new 3-Disc Special Edition is full of extras, including two features which preceded Bogie’s landmark Falcon -- the 1931 pre-code version of The Maltese Falcon and the 1936 film, Satan Met a Lady, starring Bette Davis.

Har lige set Casino for første gang. Fremragende film! Forstår ikke hvorfor jeg først har fået den set nu. Købte 2-disc S.E. udgaven for en 50'er hos TP og det er bestemt godt givet ud! :-)
Fremragende skuespil, handling, dialog, fortællestil, musik og billede. Ja og så er jeg nok også lidt af en sucker for wiseguy film. :-)
FUCK hvor fik jeg da et chok i starten af filmen - havde skruet rimeligt godt op for volumen, fortællingen startet og bang - der var jeg sgu lige ved at skide i bukserne! :-D
Double Indemnity Der er intet, absolut intet, ved denne film jeg ikke kan li'!
Fred Macmurray, Barbara Stanwick og Edward G. Robinson er det mest fuldkomne film noir team og så er Macmurray endda castet mod de traditionelle film noir karakterer som Bogart og Mitchum portrætterede. Stanwick er femme fatale så det vil noget og Edward G. Robinson er i sin birolle endnu mere mindeværdig end i mange af sine tidligere hovedroller.
Billy Wilders film er på godt engelsk, quintessential. Det bliver ikke mere noirsk. Alle elementer er tilstede. Perfekt lyssætning, umådelig skarp dialog, adapteret til filmen af Raymond Chandler og Wilder i fællesskab.
Double Indemnity har fået den rette behandling i Universal Legacy boksen. Billedet er klart, ingen ridser og lyden er ren. Det er en film, som vil blive set mange gange og helt klart i min top-10 nogensinde.
Film: 10/10 DVD: 10/10

Ingen tvivl om at det er en af de bedste noirs nogensinde. Man kan virkelig høre Chandlers indflydelse i den super underholdende dialog:
Neff: You'll be here too? Phyllis: I guess so, I usually am. Neff: Same chair, same perfume, same anklet? Phyllis: I wonder if I know what you mean. Neff: I wonder if you wonder.
Wilder og Chandler havde forøvrigt et ret farverigt og ikke altid lige glat samarbejde. Chandler skrev en klage over Wilders sprog samt opførsel og Wilder bemærkede at hver gang han gik på toilettet styrtede Chandler til sin mappe hvor han havde et par flasker gemt. Ikke desto mindre anerkendte de begge hinandens evner og Wilder beskrev senere Chandler som: "one of the greatest creative minds I've ever encountered".
"Here I was born, and there I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice."

Under Koda og Kenai's rejse, møder de pigen Nita, der er en af Kenai's gamle venner fra dengang at Kenai var menneske.
Vennerne må blandt andet konfrontere en bande vaskebjørne, og de to elge møder deres kærlighed.
Flot animation, sjove og dramatiske scener, og nuttede dyr, men det er nok en film der ville gå på nerverne for nogen.
En af de bedre Disney fortsættelser på DVD.
