After receiving the news, Spade seems unaffected and unmoved.With an impassive face, he phones his secretary to notify Iva, Miles"" wife:Now Effie.It""s me...Now listen, Precious.Miles has been shot...Yeah, dead.Now don""t get excited...Now, you""ll have to break the news to Iva.I""d fry for it...And keep her away from me...That""s a good girl...Now get right over there...You""re an angel.Bye.After a dissolve, Spade arrives in a taxi at the street corner of the film-noirish murder scene - a deserted blind alley, one lone street lamp, dark shadows against a brick wall (displaying a dilapidated poster forSwing Your Lady (1938)- a comedy starring Humphrey Bogart), and a broken fence.She is friend to the white birds which flock around her.Snow White""s rags cannot conceal her blossoming beauty - rose-red lips, slight rouge on her cheeks, skin as white as snow, and ebony hair.Its title recalls the adventure novels and frontier heroes in the works of James Fenimore Cooper - in fact, only one of the characters found peace in hunting (before experiencing the effects of the psychologically-wounding war).Plot SynopsisThe film, set in Texas in the 1880s, opens with a prologue (spoken by the doom-laden voice of Orson Welles) and a fade-in on a mountain in the shape of a face - Squaw""s Head Rock, that is bathed in the bloody-red color of the setting sun.Upon entry into Evil""s submarine, Austin and Mini-Me went off together to search, disguising themselves in one uniform as a single person (with Austin unsteadily perched on Mini-Me""s shoulders).
