Movie “unseen events” that would make a good movie of its own

Or a prequel, showing how Gutman got on the trail and first met Brigid and Joel. And we’d get to actually see Floyd Thursby.

My contribution to the thread (and I’m surprised that I’m the first to mention him) is Floyd Thursby in The Maltese Falcon, both Dashiell Hammet’s book and John Huston’s 1941 film with Humphrey Bogart.

Thursby was Brigid O’Shaughnessy’s partner before the story starts, and she sets Spade and Archer after him, claiming he has seduced her (non-existent) sister. Archer starts tailing him and is killed by Thursby. Shortly after that, Thursby is killed, off-camera, by Wilmer Cook.
