THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) 19362

Original 1952 Reissue French Grande Poster (47x63) for the John Huston adventure western, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt, Bruce Bennett, and Barton MacLane. Based on a novel by the mysterious recluse B. Traven, the film explores the degenerative effects of greed, distrust, and hatred on three prospectors who team up to search for gold in Mexico. Bogart gives an amazingly complex performance as Dobbs who is clearly destined for a tragic fate. Walter Huston, the director's father, steals the picture as the wise old codger who knows all along what will happen and takes it all in stride. Indeed, the elder Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and his son John won two Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film was also nominated for Best Picture. This original French reissue poster with outstanding artwork by Yves Thos and Rene Ferracci is folded and in very fine plus condition with only minor pinholes and light edge and fold wear.
