Preceded by short:Jammin' the Blues (Gjon Mili, U.S., 1944): A celebrated documentary of the great jazz artists of the time, including Lester Young, Red Callendar, Mary Bryant. Preserved from original negative. (c. 10 mins, B&W, 35mm, Courtesy LC, permission Warner Bros.) Called by James Agee "one of the most visually alive and beautiful movies I have ever seen," John Huston's enduring adventure is shown here at its best. Shot primarily on location in arid Mexican mountains and dusty towns, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre can be seen as a contemporary gold-and-greed Western, in which men lose civilization's veneer among gila monsters, gunfights, and bandidos. B Western star Tim Holt plays one of a trio of gold prospectors. It's no small tribute that he manages to convey his character's soft-spoken moral force when sharing the screen with the machine-gun speech of grizzled Walter Huston (the director's father) and the career-high, antiheroic performance of Humphrey Bogart, who builds to a highly amusing paranoia: "You won't monkey around with Fred C. Dobbs."-Scott SimmonPreserved from original negative.
