The Maltese Falcon (1941)

The Maltese Falcon, a classic film noir, does not explicitly feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes within its narrative. While some modern interpretations suggest queer coding for certain characters, the film contains no overt LGBTQ+ representation.

The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.

The 1941 film "The Maltese Falcon" is a faithful adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's 1930 novel. All major characters, such as Sam Spade, Brigid O'Shaughnessy, and Joel Cairo, retain their established genders from the source material.

The 1941 film adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel features characters whose on-screen portrayals align with their established racial identities in the source material and prior adaptations. No character canonically established as one race is depicted as a different race.
