  Sydney Greenstreet - Biography - MSN Movies
Sydney Greenstreet ranked among Hollywood's consummate character actors, a classic rogue whose villainous turns in motion pictures like Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon remain among the most memorable and enigmatic depictions of evil ever captured on film.
The acclaim afforded Greenstreet for The Maltese Falcon earned him a long-term contract with Warner Bros., where, after appearing in They Died With Their Boots On, he again played opposite Bogart in 1942's Across the Pacific.
When Greenstreet and Lorre again reteamed in 1943's Background in Danger, their fate was sealed, and they appeared together numerous other times including 1944's Passage to Marseilles (again with Bogart), The Mask of Dimitrios, The Conspirators, and Hollywood Canteen, in which they portrayed themselves.

 dOc DVD Review: The Maltese Falcon (Three-Disc Special Edition) (1941)
As Humphrey Bogart soberly opines in the movie's final seconds, the Maltese Falcon is "the stuff that dreams are made of." And for a while, the Hollywood Dream Factory seemed just as obsessed with that cursed fl bird as the avaricious trio in Dashiell Hammett's novel.
Brigid—along with Cairo and Kasper Gutman (Greenstreet), a rotund and ruthless collector—consider the priceless bird their Holy Grail, and go to obscene and violent lengths to obtain it.
Though he shares the screen with a formidable array of actors—two of whom (Lorre and Greenstreet) would never fully eclipse their superb performances (or escape the subsequent typecasting)—Bogart commands the screen, and never relinquishes control, no matter how hard his colleagues try to wrangle it away.

Sydney Greenstreet is particularly good (if not appealing) as a pompous, French nationalist with a fascistic streak, and Bogart plays the embittered romantic well.
I checked it out because it reunites the core crew of Casablanca; Michael Curtiz back as director, Humphrey Bogart, Claude Rains, Peter Lorre and Syndey Greenstreet all come back to a World War II movie that once again doesn't take place on any battlefields or any locations of infamy.
The thing is, this movie is so great that you'll wonder for a moment if it can really be this good, if they could possibly re-create the magic of Casablanca, but do it in such a completely different, but altogether touching way.

The plot, which dances all around the stolen Middle Eastern statuette of the title, is too baroque to try to follow, and it doesn't make a bit of difference.
The dialogue, much of it lifted straight from Hammett, is delivered with whip-crack speed and sneering ferocity, as Bogie faces off against Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet, fends off the duplicitous advances of Mary Astor, and roughs up a cringing "gunsel" played by Elisha Cook Jr.
Actually, the entire cast is fantastic from top to bottom, with standout performances from Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre.
