Clive Owen reveals how an 83-year-old crime movie tricked him into accepting his new role on the TV show Monsieur Spade. Literary detective Sam Spade has been depicted on-screen before, but AMC’s just-premiered series puts an entirely new spin on the iconic sleuth. Starring Owen as Spade, the show imagines the character not as a tough-talking San Francisco gumshoe, but as a retiree who has moved to the south of France, who is called back to action thanks to six brutal murders and the rumored arrival of an old adversary.
