The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter
The following music video, "Gumdrops", by a band called The Smittens, was featued in an ALA newsletter today, and I thought it was good enough to share:
By the way, all the spoken parts at the start of the video (including the title of this post) really are quotes from "The Maltese Falcon." I like the song and the video, but they especially remind me how much I loved that book (and, of course, the movie isn't half bad either).
Dashiell Hammett, in case you didn't know, is the man.

Thanks for this post! I agree that The MAltese Falcon is a highly entertaining book. If that doesn't get you into reading, what will?
PS I made the Smittens video and have always loved Dashiell Hammett. He is the man. Word.
