Hmmm... I'm a big Humphrey Bogart fan, and like BOTH characters, but I also go with Sam Spade.One of my favorite scenes was his identifying the murder-weapon used on his partner as a "Webley/Fosbery Automatic Revolver". An AUTOMATIC REVOLVER?
Yup... Such a strange weapon actually exists and it worked well. The entire barrel/frame and cylinder assembly recoiled back on the lower frame, advancing the cylinder and cocking the hammer for the next shot.
Wild, weird and wacky Brit design at its best!  A somewhat useless "factoid" probably of interest to only me, and maybe a couple of senile retired Brit generals, but trust Bogie to add such an obscure weapon to the intrigue of a classic flick!
