Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, the (US Import BLU-RAY)
US Import
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, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre 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 a likable hobo to a heartless thug simmering in greed. Treasure’s place on the American Film Institute’s Top 100 American Films list reaffirms it’s still a powerful movie.
