A
grand adventure and superior character study, John
Huston’s The Treasure of the Sierra Madre features Hollywood icon Humphrey Bogart
in one of his finest performances. Bogart is Fred C. Dobbs, a
down-and-out wage-worker in Mexico who stakes his meager earnings on a gold-prospecting
expedition to the Sierra mountains. He’s joined by a grizzled old
prospector (Walter Huston, the director’s father) and a young, no-nonsense partner
(Tim Holt). When they strike a rich vein of gold, the film becomes a morality
play and definitive treatment on the corrosiveness of greed. Recognized by the American
Film Institute as one of the all-time greatest American films, Sierra Madre
helped cement Bogart’s legacy as an international film superstar. John Huston,
who won Oscars for best screenplay and director, collaborated with Humphrey
Bogart in no less than six films including The Maltese Falcon, Key Largo,
and The African Queen. (USA, 1948, 126 min., b/w • Director: John Huston • based
on the novel by B. Traven)
Film will be preceed by a special 5-minute preview of
Bogie & Huston: Quite Irreplaceable, a forthcoming
documentary illuminating the unique collaboration between
Humphrey Bogart and director John Huston.
Panel
Discussion with Stephen Bogart and filmmakers John
A Green, Ph.D. and John Mulholland will follow the
screening.
