The Maltese Falcon is a 1931 Warner Bros. crime film based on the novel of the same name by Dashiell Hammett. It was directed by Roy Del Ruth and stars Ricardo Cortez as private detective Sam Spade and Bebe Daniels in the role of Ruth Wonderly. Also featured are Thelma Todd, Dudley Digges, Otto Matieson, and Una Merkel. Maude Fulton, Brown Holmes, and Lucien Hubbard (who was uncredited) wrote the screenplay.
The film is sometimes shown under the title Dangerous Female to avoid confusion with the 1941 Humphrey Bogart version.
