Clive Owen as Sam Spade looking disgruntled in Monsieur Spade with The Maltese Falcon movie poster behind him
With AMC's Monsieur Spade being a sequel to the classic film noir The Maltese Falcon, audiences and soon-to-be viewers alike are wondering how Clive Owen's older version of Sam Spade compares to Humphrey Bogart's iconic character. Created by Scott Frank and Tom Fontana , Monsieur Spade stars Clive Owen as the private detective who rose to pop-cultural prominence with 1941's The Maltese Falcon.
How Similar Clive Owen's Sam Spade Is To Humphrey Bogart's Version Owen Captures Bogie's Fast-Talking & Stoic Charm Close Whether Monsieur Spade's ending sticks the landing or not, it's clear that Golden Globe-winning actor Clive Owen gets a lot of qualities right about his titular character. Not only is Owen tasked with leading Monsieur Spade's cast of characters, but he's meant to fill some pretty big shoes.
Owen clearly draws inspiration from Bogart, especially where the character's stoic demeanor is concerned. Owen's Sam isn't afraid to casually light a cigarette and ask point-blank questions of people who have previously tried to do him in. There's something very collected and assured about Owen's portrayal of Sam, which certainly echoes Bogie's performance.
Clive Owen Copied Humphrey Bogart To Play Sam Spade The Monsieur Spade Actor "Drowned" In Bogart's Performance Before Filming Actor Clive Owen has been open about channeling Humphrey Bogart for the neo-noir sequel. "I have to be honest, I kind of drowned in Bogart," Owen told Screen Rant, sharing that he is a huge fan of not just Bogie but 1941's The Maltese Falcon.
