Is Roy del Ruth's 1931 precode version of The Maltese Falcon better than John Huston's celebrated 1941 remake? I think it is, although I like both.

Ricardo Cortez is a better Sam Spade than Bogart, and Bebe Daniels is definitely better than Mary Astor.

With its cheerful immorality the '31 version is closer in spirit to Hammett's novel.
