after over a year and i watch across the bridge again and a companion piece to treasure of the sierra madre . i have forget some of the twist and turn it take and but enjoy it just as much the second time around . my spontaneous reaction at the first time ( citizen kane meet casablanca ) still hold . it have the downfall of the rich and powerful man theme and as well a the strandedness under the whim of border bureaucracy . and much more . not to mention the dog . of course it date and but that be no point against an old film . i love watch it again and and reconfirm that this piece have several topic that i haven not see in any other film just to start with the borderline drawn across the bridge . i look forward to watch this again . positive .
