Coins in an old movie - The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

Thanks to DVD technology, it is now possible to "freeze" frames on an old movie.

These two pictures are from the 1948 Warner Brothers film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" which is about three Americans who go prospecting for gold in 1925 in Mexico's Sierra Madre mountains.

Early in the film, Fred C. Dobbs (Humphrey Bogart) is panhandling with the line
"Say, mister. Will you stake a fellow American to a meal?"

An American wearing a white suit gives him a silver peso which is shown below in Bogart's hand.

Very nice pick up, and shows how "Stone Age" some of us are as I can't fathom how to do such with my setup...

I don't belong to Earthlink, so I'm getting "page not found" messages.

If you are not seeing the pictures:

What ISP and browser are you using?

I'm on Verizon DSL, and both IE and Mozilla Firefox gave me an Earthlink screen that said the page I was looking for couldn't be found. Same result on all pictures.

Hmmm...I see them just fine. ??? I see two pictures of a hand with a mexican coin in it.

I can see the pictures just fine, both at home via Comcast cable modem and at work via some kind of T-1 line.

"satootoko",

Could you try looking at it again?
Possibly Earthlink, Verizon, or Mozilla were having a problem when you tried before.

I've seen the movie a couple times, and didn't notice this.
Course, I found it's hard to get the guy running a 16mm projector in a theater to just stop the film whenever you want a closer look at something.
This new DVD technology is great.
