September 4, 1942 –
Warner Brothers reunited most of the cast of The Maltese Falcon for John Huston’s war drama, Across the Pacific, which opened on this date.
Across the Pacific may be the title but the narrative never actually gets there. It starts in New York City (Governors Island), moves to Canada, back to New York, and continues south along the US coast (North Atlantic Ocean) to the Caribbean Sea, where it ends at or near Balboa, Panama, still some 40 miles short of the Pacific.
