But what Archer's partner, Private Eye Sam Spade, does know is that Archer was killed while investigating the disappearance of a priceless statue. Now Spade has three mysterious clients who want him to find it at any cost... More murders are yet to come, and it will all be because of these dangerous men - and their lust for a statuette of a bird - the Maltese Falcon. The film received three nominations at the 14th Academy Awards: Best Picture, Sydney Greenstreet for Best Supporting Actor, and John Huston for Best Adapted Screenplay. In 1989, The Maltese Falcon was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", going in the first year of voting.
