What kind of Camera did Bogart use in the Maltese Falcon

[Maltese]

Still working on my Maltese falcon display

I have watched the film several times but don't recall seeing a camera .

If anyone knows if they show one as set decor any help on what model would be great .

Also interested if they show a radio and if they do what model .

I am about to purchase a Ronson Lighter so I am trying to add to it

Thanks

I don't recall there being a camera in MF, but I'll check it out and see...

Are you thinking of The Big Sleep? There was an empty camera concealed in a statue in Geiger's house.

I just finished watching the Falcon again...there was only one camera in there, and it wasn't used by Bogart. I reckon you're thinking of another film.

I can take as many screenshots of his office as you want, though, if you're trying to recreate that.

Where was the camera?

Early-ish in the film. Where Spade arrives at the site of his partner's murder. I think it's like the police-photographer or someone, taking pictures of the crime-scene. It's the only camera in the film.

Thanks . I will most likely just pick a 40's camera then just to stick with
the period . Did he have a radio in his apartment??

I don't remember a radio there, but there's one in Dead Reckoning, the movie that turned me into a Bogart fan.

There is no radio in his apartment. There IS a radio on his desk. I have a screenshot of it.



I can also get shots of his telephone/s if you want that.

Your beautiful sure if you don't mind thanks !

I need to find out what kind on Radio that is .

Do you happen to have one of the ticket he gets when he leaves the package ?

 

[Stanley Doble]

If it was a newspaper photographer taking pictures of the murder scene he was probably wielding a 4X5 Speed Graphic.
