TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE

Details

• Release Year: 1948
• Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama, Western
• Plot: Gold in the hills, avarice in the hearts of men. Two hard-luck drifters (Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt) and a grizzled prospector (Walter Huston) discover gold. Then greed and paranoia set in. Shot in Mexico, this gritty masterwork cost a then-huge $3 million - and led to a showdown. Jack Warner argued top-billed Bogart shouldn't die before the finale. But John Huston stood his ground and won Academy Awards for his direction and screenplay. And his dad took the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Without awards, but with enduring acclaim, is Bogart's performance, transforming from likable hobo to heartless, greed-sodden thug. Generations later, the powerful gleam of this Treasure still shines.
