The BOGART "THE MALTESE FALCON" is the SECOND REMAKE and the best of the lot.
"GASLIGHT", with Bergman and Boyer is the remake.
There are quite a few films, where the remake it the better film; however, the majority of remakes stink.
You’re right, I didn’t know it. I never really liked the early, early movies anyway. The lack of good sound and cinaphotography just turned me off. I think the 40’s were the true golden age of Hollywood but the 2 blockbusters of the 30’s GWTW and Wizard of Oz were priceless and even though I don’t think I’ve ever seen either movie in it’s original state before it underwent improvement. Heck, they might have stunk too.......lol
