i believe that films are made in generations. wherein every generation of directors try to make films as different as possible from every other generations. they may try to take a previous idea and mould it and make it inot a completely new idea. but all things considered none of those movies are the same. i guess that's the beauty of film making. In that aspect The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has to be from the very first generation. it is possibly the precursor of many more famous 'gold fever' films like meckanna's gold etc.
but dont think that, since you have seen one of the kind, so you have seen them all. the very beauty of this film lies in that fact that if seen even now, it looks very original. and dont even try to imagine what happens next in the film( all my predictions went wrong), because that's simply not possible. this is one helluva thriller.
If you have any reservation against black and white films then please watch this film, and get your ideas busted. and realise that good cinema occurs irrespective of the year in which it was released.
I tried to give as less of the story as possible from my side in order that none of the excitement is lost while watching the film.
