You could call it The Maltese Falcon, but the title's been taken. And The Joseph Mifsud Story doesn't quite have a ring to it. Besides, there are so many more international players -- Italians, Australians, Brits -- that we need a wider cast as well as a better title. Peter Lorre, where are you? And Sydney Greenstreet?

It's the great movie that will never be made. It would blow Hollywood's narrative to smithereens. Robert De Niro's head would explode. He'd release a fusillade of f-bombs the likes of which you have never heard, and probably take it out on the nearest female.

But if you're looking for an explanation for why the world has gone crazy (at least the American part of it), if you want to know how such an outrageous liar as Adam Schiff (aka the Jussie Smollett of Congress) has been able to take center stage, if you want to know why half the country doesn't talk to the other half, you should look no further than the story of the missing Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud.

And who is this Joseph Mifsud? Well, we don't know for sure because he's disappeared. For Hitchcock, it was The Lady Vanishes. In Mifsud's case, it's the man who vanished. We're told he thinks someone is trying to kill him -- in real life, not cinematic life -- but who?
