Maltese Falcon
The Portrayal of the Characters in the Maltesse Falcon suffers from transistion to the Huston film. Spade is portrayed to have much more power in the Huston film than in the book. He seems to have more control over Brigid and the whole on going situation. First we see this when we enter the apartment of Spade. In the book we have the feeling that Spade's apartment was small, "In his bedroom that was his living-room now the wall bed was up,"(Pg. 61), this tells us that Spade was living in a bachelor room. Spades room seemed to have an image of simplicity for example no pictures no designs etc. As one of the main images, I got the impression that his room was rented. As we see here, Spade was represented in a small rented room because it some ways it shows instability but this is balanced with the coldness and the plainness of the room which shows strength.

Cairo seemed more likely to be the bad guy with something on his back during the film. So by doing this he had to make other characters more suspicious. 67) Then we know that he is dealing with something. We loose Brigid power and suspicion and concern so then this gives us no proceeding that Brigid has anything to do with her sly position. Overall Spade is portrayed to have all the power in the movie while in the book there was a balance between the instability and authority. This shows that something unique has just walked in the door.
