I like the fact that from the moment Spade tells the police that Gutman and Cairo are headed for the airport until Polhaus shows up at Spade's apartment to tell him that they've been captured is about two minutes of uncut screen time. Hardly time for them to have gotten down the elevator, and scarcely time for Polhaus to have gotten into his car, let alone drive to Spade's apartment (presuming Gutman and Cairo were captured by different policemen.)
