Contest: Win A Free iTunes Download Of The Maltese Falcon!

To help celebrate the recent re-release of John Huston’s Maltese Falcon on Blu-ray and it’s inclusion in the iTunes marketplace, we’re giving away a download of the film from iTunes.

A gallery of high-living lowlifes will stop at nothing to get their sweaty hands on a jewel-encrusted falcon. Detective Sam Spade (Humphrey Bogart) wants to find out why ‘“ and who’ll take the fall for his pertner’s murder. An all-star cast (including Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor, Peter Lorre and Elisha Cook Jr.) joins Bogart in this crackling mystery masterwork written for the screen (from Dashiell Hammett’s novel) and directed by John Huston. This nominee for 3 Academy Awards ®* ‘“ Best Picture, Supporting Actor (Greenstreet) and Screenplay (Huston) ‘“ catapulted Bogart to stardom and launched Huston’s directorial career. All with a bird and a bang!

All you need to do to win is follow us on Twitter, retweet our post about this contest, and we’ll draw a random winner from the people who have entered. Only one tweet is necessary, if you post from multiple accounts, we’re most likely not going to choose you. The contest will end on Tuesday, October 19th 2010.
