John's Grill, which actually is seen briefly in "The Maltese Falcon," is still a viable San Francisco eatery, counted amongst its regular customers Elisha Cook, who played Wilmer Cook in the movie, and he gave them one of his original plasters of the Maltese Falcon.
John's Grill, que per cert apareix breument en "el Falcó Maltès", és encara avui una cafeteria de San Francisco, que contava entre els seus clients regulars amb l'Elisha Cook, que interpretava al film el paper de Wilmer Cook, i els va regalar una d'aquestes escaioles originals del Falcó Maltès.
