Date Sold 12/5/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style B Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (sometimes called "Treasure of Sierra Madre"), the classic 1948 John Huston (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) gold mining melodrama ("They sold their souls for ....The Treasure of the Sierra Madre"; "Warner Bros. hit a new high in high adventure... Bringing another great best-seller to the screen!"; "The nearer they get to their treasure the farther they get from the law!"; "Based on the Novel by B. Traven"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about three men who prospect for gold and the mixed blessings they find when they discover much gold) starring Humphrey Bogart (as Fred C. Dobbs), Walter Huston (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Tim Holt, Bruce Bennett, Barton MacLane, Alfonso Bedoya (as Gold Hat), John Huston (the director, as the man who gives Bogart money three times), and Robert 'Bobby' Blake. Note that the author of the book this classic movie was based on was written by a VERY unusual man known as "B. Traven", and you might want to research him, because it is amazing that no one has made a book about his life! Also note that Tim Holt's father appeared in a tiny cameo role in the "flop house" scene, as a fun favor to his son. Also note that there is an urban legend that Ann Sheridan plays the hooker who Humphrey Bogart sees after he gets cleaned up. Actually, that is not Ann Sheridan in the film, but she DID get made up for that scene, and there are still photos of her, so it is almost true! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Important Added Info: PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILE THIS POSTER CAN BE ROLLED IN A WIDE TUBE, WE WOULD MUCH PREFER TO SEND IT IN A LARGE FLAT PACKAGE (for safety's sake), BUT WE WILL SEND IT ROLLED IF THE NEW BUYER INSISTS. Note that a book was recently published called "The World's Rarest Movie Posters", and it concerns 30x40s and 40x60s, and certainly THIS poster fits that billing! There are a large number of one-sheets from this title that have survived, but I have never seen or heard of this 30x40 before! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded, but it had many creases and scuffs scattered throughout, but fortunately, there were far more in the solid colored background areas than in the figures. There were pinholes, tears, and small areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, and the top right blank corner was cut diagonally. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above (they mostly filled in missing paper and put paint restoration on the blank borders, and some paint restoration in the solid colored background areas). I would think that any talented restorer could perform additional restoration without re-backing the poster, but I also think many collectors would be happy to display this poster just as it is.
