Can anyone ID the font in the opening credits of the 1941 version of The Maltese Falcon? I'm looking for the script font in this image. I know it's vintage; I'd be happy with something close.

Surely handwritten. The image didn't show up, so it's difficult to suggest alternatives.
Like in http://this trailer?
OK, I edited my post, so hopefully the image shows up now. I don't work in design and don't know much about this stuff, but I thought that it might be handwritten. I would like to use it for my business cards and blog. Anyone have suggestions of something close?
They are not so decorated, but you may like the following:
When you say script, do you mean you want something similar to the connected script in the bottom left picture? That reminds me of Metroscript.
Do a search for the common freebie Blackadder. It's definitely not a pretty font, but it has lots in common with that titling.
Thank you all for your suggestions. I don't think this got me quite where I was hoping to go, but I appreciate your time.
Check out the fonts of the Bluemlein Collection which are based on lettering styles of that era.
