| | Notes | B/W. The classic private eye mystery with many imitators (c.f... The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett which is probably the original). General Sternwood is confined to a greenhouse for his health and, I think, is in a wheelchair. I've seen this film as many times as I've counted sheep and yes General Sternwood is definitely in a wheelchair. He says both his legs are paralysed as the result of his debauched life. He says this with such humility and resignation that we might dismiss the connection.
