‘If You Lose a Son, It’s Possible To Get Another. There’s Only One Maltese Falcon.’

Adam Savage talks about the series of events that led to his attempt to create a fetishistically accurate replica of the prop Maltese Falcon used in the 1941 film adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s classic novel.

I feel the same way about my Klein replica, which was also designed by working backward from photos found online. But as Adam Savage says:

“I have to admit that achieving the end of the exercise was never the point of the exercise to begin with, was it?”
