Spade's opponent will be Max Payne, the star of two very good video games (and soon a third one) who is finally getting out of the monotony of fighting Solid Snake again and again.
Max is a hero in the mold of Spade, but has a bit more Hong Kong action theatre in him, adding such stunts as bullet time and two gun mojo to the noir repertoire.

Spade's partner is murdered on a stakeout; the cops blame him for the killing; a beautiful redhead with a heartbreaking story appears and disappears; grotesque villains demand a payoff he can't provide; and everyone wants a fabulously valuable gold statuette of a falcon, created as tribute for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV.
Sam knows how to fight, whom to call, how to rifle drawers and secrets without leaving a trace, and just the right way to call a woman "Angel" and convince her that she is. He is the quintessence of intelligent cool, with a wise guy's perfect pitch.
Spade likes the money, follows it but is not a sclave neither to it or to anything else, apart perhaps to its ego, its thoughts when he sleeps at night or when he drinks.

Sam Spade was the creation of Dashiell Hammett, who along with Raymond Chandler godfathered the tough-guy introspective school of detective fiction that got really big after the Second World War.
Film star Howard Duff played Sam Spade (also played by Steve Dunne at the very end of the show), Lurene Tuttle was Effie Perrine, his perfect secretary (perfect fantasy of a private eye secretary, that is) and John McIntire was Lt. Dundy.
Spade was meticulous enough to make a report on each case as it progressed, in line with Hammett's actual Pinkerton Detective Agency background.

All Sam says about it is, "They don't make 'em anymore." Much more than that, it was an experiment to get a handgun to automatically reload and cock itself between shots.
We're familiar with a typical semi-automatic pistol with a moving slide, but this was a revolver that used its backward momentum to cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder, readying it for the next pull of the trigger.
Sam Spade is a marvelous character in this film.

Part of the fun of "The Maltese Falcon" is Hammett's emphasis on place as much as character, moving Spade among hotels, restaurants and apartment buildings selected from the writer's haunts in the 1920s.
This is where Spade had his run-ins with the police, his romantic encounter with O'Shaughnessy and his showdown with Gutman, Cook and Cairo.

The Pulitzer Prize for the best novel published in America in 1930 went to a book by Margaret Ayer Barnes titled "Years of Grace." But it was quite a different 1930 novel that would enter American cultural folklore and remain in print into the 21st century.
