If you're in New York on November 25th and have money needing something to do, see if you can become a bidder for the statuette featured in the movie The Maltese Falcon. Sam Spade's "dingus" will be auctioned, along with other items from motion pictures past and (sometimes) remembered. Bogie's "bird" will be as plain as the creature that served as the dramatic vehicle for the eponymous 1941 film. No diamonds, no precious jewels, no gold will appear on the falcon. Instead, you'll find those items among the prospective buyers at this special event conducted by the auction house Bonham's.

Just don't try to outbid the fat man.
