And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Greenstreet - the 'blow-ted EEDIOT' - had never worked in films before The Maltese Falcon and was his first, and he was in his 60s. I always thought both Lorre and Greenstreet personified character acting, although there are better examples.
