Oscar nominee Clive Owen channels Humphrey Bogart in his new miniseries “Monsieur Spade.” “I’ve got an original ‘Maltese Falcon’ poster, so that’s how much of a fan I am,” Owen, 59, told The Post. “I’m a big fan of noir, and a huge Bogart fan. So, when [creator Scott Frank] approached me about doing a spin on Sam Spade, it was a quick, easy, ‘Yes.’” Premiering Jan.
14 at 9 p.m. on AMC (and streaming on AMC+, and Acorn TV), the six-episode miniseries follows Sam Spade (Owen), the legendary sleuth who first appeared in the 1930 novel “The Maltese Falcon” and the 1941 movie of the same name, played by Humphrey Bogart. In the original story, Spade is a private investigator in San Francisco in the 1940s.
In “Monsieur Spade,” he’s retired in the idyllic French countryside in the 1960s. But, his days of action aren’t behind him, because he soon gets embroiled in drama that involves the murder of nuns. Stanley Weber (“Outlander”) co-stars as Jean-Pierre, a war veteran, and Chiara Mastroianni co-stars as Gabrielle, his late wife.
“I lifted all [Humphrey Bogart’s] dialogue from ‘The Maltese Falcon,’ and all his dialogue from ‘Casablanca,’ and put it on one audio file,” Owen said. “That’s what got me in the groove every day.” “Because we were shooting in the south of France, mainly with French actors, it was important for me to keep grounding it in the original source material,” he said. “Bogart was a big help … it was to do with rhythm and dialogue.
One thing I discovered, which I didn’t know until I really looked at it, is that you think of Bogart as being quite laconic, quite cool, and laid back. “But he’s actually nimble and rips through dialogue. He can do long speeches and make it feel easy.
