Academy Award Theater (Wed. 10 p.m., CBS). The spooky Maltese Falcon with Sydney Greenstreet, Mary Astor and Humphrey Bogart...
...alone understands her brother's woe; he dies in her arms. She alone really knows what love can mean, but hides her own love for the curate (Paul Henreid) because Charlotte loves him, too.
