“…what’s this bird, this Falcon, that everybody’s all steamed up about?”
“The Maltese Falcon“ is a timeless classic and top of every film fans watchlist to see, technically brilliant for just about every aspect of filmmaking and just a marvellous viewing pleasure. As a general rule BFI re-release posters are incredibly scarce due to limited print runs and distribution, being shown in literally a handful of independent and ‘art-house’ cinemas. The updated imagery, for this 80th Anniversary release features a great black and white image of Bogart in the silhouette of the titular ‘Falcon’, both off set against a deep dark red background. The rolled (as issued) UK quad offered here is from the 2021 and displays to excellent effect with deep colour tones and minimal handling wear. A striking film poster and a great looking piece of ‘modern’ golden era Hollywood cinema memorabilia for a true classic movie.
Trivia: The “Maltese Falcon” itself is said to have been inspired by the “Kniphausen Hawk,” a ceremonial pouring vessel made in 1697 for George William von Kniphausen, Count of the Holy Roman Empire. It is modeled after a hawk perched on a rock and is encrusted with red garnets, amethysts, emeralds and blue sapphires. The vessel, as of 2012, is owned by the Duke of Devonshire (Peregrine Cavendish) and is part of the Chatsworth collection.

“It seems that you’ve been living two lives. One life, you’re Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company. You have a social security number, pay your taxes, and you… help your landlady carry out her garbage. The other life is lived in computers, where you go by the hacker alias “Neo” and are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for. One of these lives has a future, and one of them does not.”
On its release at the dawn of a new Millenia the Wachowski Brother’s ground breaking science fiction blockbuster “The Matrix” influenced everything from fashion, technology, how movies are made and introducing us to…Bullet-Time. This 2025 alternative movie poster by Pablo Olivera is an outstanding re-design that takes you to the heart of the matrix with its wealth of lore and symbology from the mega-hit, Pablo’s print is a thrilling look back at the film’s imagery and themes – “You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.”. It is a fine art giclee print where the colours literally pop from the paper and one of best examples I have seen that uses this printing process – the colours, in this case neon pinks, purples and blues are incredibly rich giving a true hand painted effect. This Purple Variant edition has been Hand-Numbered #11/75 that represents a cool looking film poster from a “game-changing” movie. A true modern classic that displays superbly and is presented in excellent rolled condition.
Trivia: All scenes that take place within the Matrix have a green tint, as if watching them through a computer monitor. Scenes in the real world have a blue tint. Blue was also used at a minimum within the Matrix, since the directors thought blue was more of a real-world color (despite, ironically, blue being often the least-occurring color in nature). The fight scene between Morpheus and Neo, which is neither in the real world, nor in the Matrix, is tinted yellow.

Trivia: According to author William Goldman, when he was first trying to get the movie made in the 1970s, a then-unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to play Fezzik, and he was strongly being considered because Goldman could never get his first choice, André the Giant, to read for the role. By the time the movie was made about twelve years later, Schwarzenegger was such a big star they could not afford him. Andre was cast after all, and the two big men had gone on to become friends.
