He also must keep his father's sarcastic secretary, Effie Perrine ("Godzilla"), and must continue his father's tradition of "serving minorities". One day, an obese man named Caspar Gutman is killed just outside Spade's building, his last words being "It's black and as long as your arm". Later on, Spade is given an offer by a member of the Order of St. John's Hospital to purchase his father's useless copy of the Maltese Falcon.

Later on, he gets an offer from a Wilmer Cook, but before they can negotiate, he is killed. Shortly thereafter, he encounters a ... Written by Joel Cairo
I love this movie I haven't seen it in years and I finally found a on YouTube it's not released on DVD. Otherwise I would own it. It's one of my favorites I'm a film Noir buff and George Segal is one of my favorite actors. The cameos are awesome and so is the cast. Not to be taken seriously it's just a fun romp.
