Synopsis
Monsieur Spade (2024) is a detective miniseries you can watch online on iFILM, starring Clive Owen as an older Sam Spade — yes, the gumshoe from Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon, now retired to the French countryside and answering to "monsieur" instead of "mister."
The year is 1963, the place a sleepy town in Provence called Bozouls. Spade is a widower who has long since hung up the trade, until a single night leaves six nuns murdered inside the local convent. He takes the case one last time, and the thread runs back to a boy the sisters believe holds some inexplicable gift. The Algerian War, fugitive Nazis, intelligence agents and the town's buried secrets all knot together around him.
Showrunners Scott Frank (The Queen's Gambit) and Tom Fontana lift a noir icon out of San Francisco and drop him into a slow, sun-baked European drama — more talk and wine than gunfire. Six episodes, one season, a self-contained story. Owen plays Spade tired, sour and quietly magnetic, and that performance is the reason to press play. Stream every episode of Monsieur Spade online on iFILM.
