The Black Bird

Year: 1975

Tomatometer: 25%

John Huston’s version of The Maltese Falcon is one of the all-time classics. Knowing it couldn’t possibly maintain that reputation, Black Bird is entirely comedic starring George Segal as Sam Spade, Jr. taking over the family private eye business. The movie is pretty disliked but does at least hold the distinction of having Lee Patrick and Elisha Cook Jr. reprising their roles from Maltese.
