Gutman. The normal structure of the narrator omniscience is violated in this film at times by virtue of being a crime film. A crime film must have a plot of “increasing mystery, and often ambiguous resolution” (Corrigan and White). To satisfy this, the audience could not be completely omniscient or this would have ruined the mystery need in the film. The conclusion of the Maltese Falcon also represents a classical Hollywood closing by ending all the major plot lines. At the end, it is revealed…
