And THAT'S how it ends!??! *THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE* (1948) | first time watching

[@MisterMasterShafter1]

The little boy that Bogie was so grumpy to was none other than Robert Blake!

[@bakercarl8518]

YES!!! Thanks.

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

I love the ending. It doesn't follow the usual story arc, which is part of its strength. It's not a simple adventure story where the protagonists reach their goal while overcoming setbacks. It's about the corrosive effects of greed, and the transience of material wealth. You cut the part where Dobbs and Curtin went to work for McCormick. Did you notice that when they finally caught up with McCormick and knocked him out, they only took what he owed them? They could have taken McCormick's entire bankroll, but by that point they weren't consumed with avarice. Dobbs started losing it fairly early in the story. It was Howard's wisdom and moderating influence that kept him in line. When Howard stayed behind while Dobbs and Curtin went on ahead, it allowed Dobbs' greed and paranoia to take over.

Bogey was such a ruthless asshole in this film. He was brilliantly cast against type.

Raising the dying boy's arms stimulates diaphragmatic function, aiding lung movement for breathing. The rescuer checks for breathing by placing a mirror near the boy's mouth. Condensation on the mirror indicates breathing, confirming signs of life.

One of our favorite quotes when I was in the Air Force was "Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!" At the time, I didn't know what the joke was. Then I saw this movie.

It was also parodied in Blazing Saddles, which is a better known film, and likely a film 20-somethings would watch.

[@tmorganriley]

And again parodied in "UHF" (1989), but instead with "badgers".

[@katwithattitude5062]

Dobbs didn't only lose his mind, he lost his head! As originally filmed he was decapitated by the bandits and his head was shown rolling into the water but the studio objected to something so graphic so it was edited down. Now you can see the bandits reacting to seeing the head roll and ripples in the water when it rolls in.

To be honest I love the way the music hits that note when the blade comes down. Perfect as is.

​@@jamesalexander5623Yeah, my favourite Connery film! Another classic tale of getting greedy and pushing things that little bit too far.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

@@jamesalexander5623 Huston wanted to make it early on, with Bogart himself and Clark Gable, but he couldn't. When Michael Caine learned that his part was originally meant for Bogart he was delighted because Bogart was his favourite actor. Caine and Connery gave us a performance for the eternity, but just imagine how good would've been with Bogey and Gable 🤩❤

[@melanie62954]

Walter Huston is an undersung gem. He's great in this and in The Devil and Daniel Webster (he plays the devil!), but I just fell in love with him in Dodsworth. Beautiful film. And I agree, this is one of Bogart's best performances, although if I remember correctly he started his career playing villainous roles too.

[@mikecaetano]

Classic ending for a classic film! Consider how the absurdity of that ending played in 1948 when the murderous absurdities of WWII were still fresh in mind.

Yup. The gold was lost but the old man lived like a king, while his partner took the L and moved on. Dobbs' greed was his downfall. The infamous Robert Blake played the Mexican kid.

[@izzonj]

I can definitely see the connection with Walter White. A man down on his luck, mad at the way the world has treated him, gets an idea for being rich, let's the power take over him and his greed leads him to lose everything. That's for that bit of trivia!

5:51 The kid here is the late actor Robert Blake, who had been in MGM’s Our Gang comedies from 1939 to 1944, and later went on to fame in such movies as THE TOWN WITHOUT PITY (1961), PT 109 (1963), THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD (1965), IN COLD BLOOD (1967), TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE (1969), ELECTRA GLIDE IN BLUE (1973), MONEY TRAIN (1995), and LOST HIGHWAY (1997), but he may be best known for his Emmy Award-winning role of Tony Baretta in the popular television series Baretta (1975 to 1978), playing a street-wise, plain clothes police detective. Unfortunately his career unravelled in 2002, when he was arrested for the 2001 murder of his second wife, Bonny Lee Bakley. Blake was acquitted of the murder in criminal court in 2005, but he was found liable in a civil court for her wrongful death. He died earlier this year at age 89.

Superb movie. Riveting story, great acting and camera work, and tremendously exciting and convincing dialogue. Walter Huston was outstanding playing the wise, delightful, elderly and grizzled gold prospector. Humphrey Bogart was also brilliant as the demented and deeply cynical Fred C Dobbs. Treasure of Sierra Madre was one of the finest films I’ve ever seen. It was acting at its best.

[@ericthered760]

Another really good Humphrey Bogart movie is "Sahara" (1943; directed by Zoltán Korda), costarring Bruce Bennett, J. Carrol Naish, Lloyd Bridges, and Rex Ingram. It's about an American tank crew in North Africa during World War II. So, more desert terrain for Mr. Bogart and Company.

[@bigbow62]

Yes i agree an excellent movie with an amazing story... Bogart shines in this classic film 🎬

[@donovanmedieval]

Walter Huston died the same year that his granedaughter, Angelica was born. At his castle in Ireland, John Huston would always play this movie. So Angelica grew up believing her grandpa was an old prospector, and how he is in the movie was exactly how he was in real life.

[@donovanmedieval]

He also played the sea captain who delivers the Falcon to Sam Spade just before dying.

Mia, i think your attitude towards the movie changed from immediately after the end when you said, "I can't believe I wasted two hours of my life on this," to after you discussed it for a bit and realized what it had to offer as a cinematic work of art. We have expectations of where a movie is going to go, and when it doesn't, we think the problem is with the movie, and not with our expectations. With time, we come to see the value of the movie in its own right, and I think you came to that rather quickly.

[@Pamtroy]

The kid who appears in the first scene was no other than Robert Blake (IN COLD BLOOD, BARETTA)

[@TTM9691]

Mia.....love how you recognized the John Huston cameo!! And totally loved (and agree!) with what you said about Bogart stretching his acting abilities in the late 40s-50s. This is so great!!! I've literally watched you discover Bogie! And now you're an authority! And I loved how you were advising viewers who might not know his work, what they might want to check out next. I think someone else mentioned "Caine Mutiny", he's incredible in that one too, completely different movie but definitely one of his darker performances, like this one. THANKS MIA!

[@TTM9691]

P.S. I never made the Walter White connection, brilliant. Thanks for pointing that out! It's so obvious now!!! 🤣

[@suebob16]

A film I highly recommend is 2011's The Artist. It's a French film that celebrates Hollywood's early silent film industry by being an almost entirely silent black and white film itself. It's quite dazzling to see how well this movie tells it's story as a silent film. The Artist would go on to win Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Costumes, Music, and Jean Dujardin as Best Actor.

[@RenfrewPrume]

This has long been one of my favorite movies. It is certainly Bogart’s best performance, and he should have gotten the Oscar for it. I am also a big fan of Walter Huston, and I think this was his best performance. My mother, who had been a movie buff since the 1930s, loved the dance that Huston did as he ridiculed his tenderfoot partners; it was her favorite scene in all of film history, and I always think of her when I see it. A couple years ago, I finally got around to reading B. Traven’s book, on which the movie was based. Traven had a fantastic knowledge and heart for the landscape, atmosphere, and folkways of Mexico, which bring to life in everything he wrote. The story is a masterpiece of realism, and the characters are even more gritty and hard-bitten than in the movie. Any youngster who aspires to screenwriting should compare the movie and the book, because John Huston’s script is a model of perfect selection and judicious transformation. He cuts some of the book’s sprawling quality, uses much of the outstanding dialogue, and changes the structure only in a few places for dramatic cinematic reasons. He followed the book for the ending.

[@jefmay3053]

"Badges? We aint got no Badges, we don't need no stinking Badges!" ahh man ya cut that part out?!

Check out his biography on Wikipedia. Heck of a life.

[@christophermontemayor610]

All hardcore fans should know this, and it's certainly not the only reason to love this essential classic movie, but: we wouldn't have had a series named "Breaking Bad" if it weren't for TTOTSM. That's not just a fan theory on my part. Vince Gilligan has stated for the record that he watched "Sierra Madre" for an *entire week* while coming up with the first script treatment for "Breaking Bad." It's all right there: the antihero who turns fully evil, the innocent younger man who gets played as an equal-shares "partner," the old pro who seems like a clown but is actually a fount of great advice (that's too often ignored), and the Mexican gangsters who just keep showing up at the worst possible times to spoil the "progress." And just to make the obvious comparison: Bryan Cranston is great--- but Bogart was a god among mortals.

[@lanzknecht8599]

A movie worth watching is "The Wages of Fear" (France 1950). The film centers on a group of four down-their-luck European men who are hired by an American oil company to drive two trucks over mountain dirt roads, loaded with nitroglycerine needed to extinguish an oil well fire.

[@RobertFergus-l3c]

Mia, one of the best early films by Bogart is The Petrified Forrest. It stars Leslie Howard who insisted that Bogart get the part of Duke Mantee giving Bogart his big break, Bogey would name one of his children Leslie to honor Howard. This film has one of my favorite lines. "This is Duke Mantee, the world-famous killer, and he's hungry."

"Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinking badges." Fun Fact: To lend authenticity to his role, Walter Huston was persuaded by his son John to perform without his false teeth. Hot Take Fact: John Huston was the American tourist who Dobbs begs money from three times early in the film. This scene was directed by Humphrey Bogart, who took malicious pleasure on his director by making him perform the scene over and over again. Practical Jokers Fact: John Huston played a prank on Humphrey Bogart. In the scene where he has to reach under a rock for hidden gold and is told that an extremely venomous Gila monster had crawled there, Huston put a mousetrap where he had to reach. Bogart, acting appropriately as if a Gila monster actually was under the rock, jumped several feet backwards when the mousetrap snapped on his finger. Family Affair Fact: Walter Huston, father of director John Huston, won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. John won for Best Director. This was the first father/son win. John Huston stated that working with his father on this picture and his dad's subsequent Oscar win were among the favorite moments of his life. On seeing the depth of Walter Huston's performance, Humphrey Bogart famously said: "One Huston is bad enough, but two are murder."

[@DanielOrme]

To complete the family trifecta, forty years later John Huston would direct his daughter Anjelica to an Oscar in "Prizzi's Honor."

[@vincentsaia6545]

After completing the movie Bogart was out to dinner at 21 in New York with his wife when he saw a critic friend across the street and yelled, "Wait till you see my next picture. I play the biggest sh*t you ever saw!"

[@hazystudios]

It's because the treasure they received is not what they were seeking. The lesson is like in Cody's letter, the real treasure in life... Howard and Curt found their real treasure; Howard being a medicine man and actually giving those people hope, while Curt is on his way see Cody's widow, who according to the letter, has an orchard, or works at one, which is what he really wanted. The movie is a roller coaster ride of characters evolving from one context to another. This is my favorite movie of all time, and I know just about every line out of it by heart. During the many years I have watched it I have seen it as an adventure, with emotion and humor, and a philosophical treatise on how greed corrupts even so called decent folk. It shows how the least little ripple in the pond affects everything as had Dobbs not missed the gold hat bandit when he first shot at him from the train, he may have made it...but his karmic path was being laid out for him. Don't let this be your last viewing... I've seen it a few dozen time and still thoroughly enjoy it. I still find value it the spirit this story.

[@donkfail1]

I guess you haven't seen Bogart's early movies. He started his career by playing bad guys. Being so good at it he was almost stuck playing killers and gangsters. In my opinion he's best when mostly good, but with a pinch of bad boy. This one, The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep are my favorite Bogart movies, so I'm looking forward to your next one.

I have seen this movie at least 10 times. It's one of my top ten. My father read a book a week, was a poor kid that went to work at 12 and didn't finish HS, an intellectual version of Bogart (before his character got greedy here).

He played the role opposite Leslie Howard in the film and on Broadway. Leslie was a huge star and refused to do the movie without Bogart. Bogart shows his greatness in the role. Bette Davis also stars in it...she is not mannered as,in her later films. Bogart named his daughter Leslie after Leslie Howard.

How do you feel gyped? Are you kidding? It's a terrific movie and shows how illusionary the idea of money and gold is. It's all a game, it's the real human connections that Howard and Curtain find is the truth of life. This is one of my absolute favorite movies. Perhaps you'll like it more when you get older and see life differently. They need to lose the gold at the end, or the point isn't complete. The point is to reject the pursuit of money and realize the virtue of community and cooperation. To trust rather than to think only of yourself. As Dobbs becomes more individualistic, he also goes more insane. Meanwhile Curtain and Howard are drawn to a more communitarian ideal. To give them the wealth of gold at the end would just undercut all that.

Well, Bogie was used to being the heavy - about the first 10 years of his film career were mostly mobster/assorted criminal roles, even good ones like in "Petrified Forest". And what did villains do, pre-Code? They expired (or got arrested). This was sort of a return to form for him. The sheer individuality in his performances culminated in Nicholas Ray's masterwork, "In a Lonely Place" - best performance of his career. Bogie just couldn't be the pure knight in shining armor for very long. If anything, "Casablana" was the outlier.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Der Schatz der Sierra Madre), is the most famous novel from B. Traven (Otto Feige). Most of B. Traven's books were published in German first, with their English editions appearing later. In 1924 he fixed himself in Mexico. B. Traven's works also enjoyed great popularity in Mexico itself.

[@leroystea8069]

Another awesome film that explores how personalities show their true sides in certain situations. Humphrey Bogart had such a lucky film career and his talent grew with each film. His really early movies of him playing a gangster who eventually was punished for his crimes was a conscious choice Mr. Bogart made while in these stories. One awesome side note - Bogart often requested that other actors of different races be included in his films. In Maltese Falcon you saw people of African heritage at the post office where he had the packaged stored. Would take some research for those interested, but the background characters were portrayed as business people (many were famous actors and actresses of the time). Same for Casablanca with people in different clubs representing other nationalities. When you get the chance to see "Key Largo", native Americans are portrayed as well. Bogart always felt that the people in the background or even those who had actual lines in a story should reflect people who would have been there in real life. He always liked that sense of realism. For "Treasure of Sierra Madre" which had so many famous scenes....the one with Bogart begging for money in the beginning was also used in a Bugs Bunny cartoon with Bogart asking for money from Bugs Bunny (hilarious). And the line "Badges....we don't need any stinking badges" has been parodied multiple times. So glad you saw this and your reactions was awesome!!!!!

The plot is a redo of Chaucer’s “Pardoner’s Tale.” As are a lot of other “heist gone wrong” films, including “Reservoir Dogs.” In future you might want to check out another neo-noir modernist western - “Lone Star.” Influence? Where do you think Indiana Jones got his fedora? Or the last scene in “The Road Warrior,” where Mel Gibson is laughing himself silly over the trick ending to the film? And there’s a bit in “Alfredo Garcia” where Peckinpah gets the chance to reference two classics at once. Someone asks Gig Young his name and he casually lifts one eyebrow. “Dobbs. Fred Dobbs.”

I love your reactions. We would see these old moves when they aired on local TV in the 60s and '70s. Walter Houston is wonderful in a movie called Dodsworth. Such a sneaky portrayal of female narcissism. Another on the subject is The Silver Cord, 1930. The sweetest mother on Earth, with her claws dug into her sons, and manipulates, infantises, and gas lights to keep them from ever leaving her. The Silver Cord was first a Broadway play.

It's not the destination, it's the journey that counts. This movie proves that in spades.

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges!

Another Bogart movie where he plays a guy sort of slowly descending into madness is _Sahara,_ with a more light ending.

Producer Henry Blanke was upset when he saw the scene where Howard is in the Indian camp reviving the boy because it was shot on location but looked as though it was shot on a soundstage which would have been much cheaper.

As i understand it, John Houston told his dad to play the part without his upper denture plate. Walter didn't want to, but eventually agreed.

Mia, in regard to the Big Sleep, hold on tight and enjoy the ride. Your second, third rewatched you can concentrate on the plot. Other films where Bogie doesn’t play the traditional leading man: In A Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny and The Desperate Hours

Gold’s lustrous and metallic qualities, relative scarcity, and difficulty of extraction add to the perception that gold is a valuable commodity. However, it is valuable only because humans place great value on it. It can't cure cancer or be used to increase intelligence or give one physical strength. Because it is shiny and rare, people covet it. When compared to kindness, compassion, love and brotherhood it is merely sand. One theme of the movie is people, driven by greed, work their whole lives for riches and miss out on the true riches of life. Howard found those true riches in his connection with the Mexican village, and Curtin may find them when he meets Cody's widow. Howard's outcome represents contentment and Cody's represents hope. Neither could have been purchased with bags of gold.

Bogart was in so many classic films. 'The Maltese Falcon', 'Casablanca', 'High Sierra', 'To Have and Have Not', 'Treasure of The Sierra Madre', 'Dark Passage' Maybe Jimmy Stewart had a more successful career because of his relationship with Alfred Hitchcock, but no one touches Bogarts film presence

[@gammaanteria]

Now contrast this with Walter Huston in “Dodsworth” playing a clean-shaven, elegant, self-made man

As a Bogart fan, you have to see The Caine Mutiny. And to see him doing excellent comedy, try We're No Angels.

Dobbs was also a strong influence on Lawrence Kasdan who wrote the hard bitten dialogue for Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
