The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre [1948] (DVD)
Synopsis: "One of the greatest American pictures. An exciting, witty script. Bogart is terrific" (Danny Peary - alternate Oscars) > > > > > Gold in the hills, avarice in the hearts of men. Tow hard-luck drifters (Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt) and a grizzled prospector (Walter Huston) discover gold. Then greed and paranoia set in... Shot mostly on location in Mexico, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" cost a then whopping $3 million, and led to a showdown. At that price, Jack Warner argued, the top-billed Bogart shouldn't be bumped off before the finale. But director John Huston stood his ground and went on to win high honours: two Academy Awards for direction and screenplay. And his father won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Without awards but with enduring acclaim, is Bogart's performance, transforming before our eyes from a likeable hobo to a heartless thug who simmers in his own greed. A half-century later, its placement on the American Film Institute's "Top 100 American Films" list confirms it's still a powerful movie...
