Re: RARA-AVIS: Your own Black Bird

Thu, 04 Dec 1997 08:02:09 -0500 I own a replica of the Black Bird, and it cost me $30. I bought mine
from Mystery Books in Washington, D.C. They have a web site
(http://www.killerbooks.com/) and can probably advise on the
availability of the bird via email.

I haven't heard the radio adaptation of _The Maltese Falcon_ starring
E.G. Robinson, but I *have* heard most of the episodes of "Big Town"
from the late 1930's, which starred Robinson and the always wonderful
Claire Trevor. Robinson was great in the movies, but was only a fair
radio actor.
