AMC's limited series Monsieur Spade continues a recent tradition of welcoming mystery fans back to a bygone era. Many viewers may not be fully aware of Sam Spade -- whom Dashiell Hammett created in 1930 -- but most know the name, thanks to Humphrey Bogart's classic performance in 1941's film version of The Maltese Falcon. Decades later, Spade still remains the quintessential hard-boiled private detective. Monsieur Spade walks a high-wire act of updating the character, while keeping him firmly ensconced in a nostalgic past.
