They both accurately describe what it was like for women in America who lived during the 1930’s. Women during this era were a big part of society, but were

    The 1941 film The Maltese Falcon directed by John Huston is a film adaptation of the 1930 detective novel written by Dashiell Hammett. The film showcases the cultural issues of the 1940s America, as well as the popular film noir style.
