Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of the style B 30x40 poster from this movie, and that was 12 years ago, when it sold for $2,775, but we have NEVER auctioned this style A 30x40. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded, but it has creases and scuffs scattered throughout, typical of 30x40s of this period. It has a tear with tiny paper loss in Bogart's shoulder near the center of the poster and tiny paper loss in Huston's earlobe. It has a stain and scrunched up paper in the background above the first "R" of "TREASURE", and extending into the top of that "R". It has many creases in the top border, with paper loss in the left of the top border, and creases in the other three borders. It has small paper loss in the bottom of the "G" of "BOGART" at bottom left, with small paper loss and a tear in the background below the "S" of "SIERRA" in the title. There is small paper loss in the top right corner, in the blue background, with small paper loss in the "G" of "GET" in the top right tagline. I go into such detail on the poster's defects because it is so rare. Obviously, it can be restored, but bear in mind its condition before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
