The bandit chieftain also played Gregory Peck's sidekick in "The Big Country". The little boy selling lottery tickets is Robert Blake billed under his real name Mickey Gubitosi.
The Maltese Falcon, a classic film noir directed by Huston and starring Bogart, is considered one of the best detective movies of all time. Also stars Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet who were in Casablanca.
Hopefully this review stays up. For Humphrey Bogart movies, I highly recommend "Sahara" 1943 and "The African Queen" 1951. There's a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bogart asks if he could stake a fellow American to a meal.
An interesting, often overlooked Bogart film is "All Through the Night". He's a minor gangster -- at least that's the impression the way people treat him gives -- who stumbles into a Nazi sabotage plot. It's part action, part comedy -- and at least partly inspired by Meyer Lansky's campaign against the German-American Bund during the 1930s.
...and, of course, the "guy in the white suit" is John Huston, the director. Another FANTASTIC film to react to is Chinatown -- in which John Huston plays quite a riveting role.
@@jamesoliver6625 Right. And John told his father not to wear his false teeth in the role -- despite his reluctance. And after winning the award, they both agreed that not wearing the dentures helped to win it.
Yep, you absolutely "got" it. Thanks for the reaction. Please continue to view additional vintage classics. You're discovering film treasures and I'm enjoying each new discovery. Thanks!
Great reaction to a great movie Madison! Curtin was played by Tim Holt. He was also the young cavalry officer who had to leave in the movie ‘Stagecoach’. Howard was played by Walter Huston, who was the father of John Huston, the director. He was in the movie too. He played the American in the white suit who kept giving Bogart money.
The truly great legendary actors never shied away from playing the dark roles & played them so impeccably; Bogart's "Dobbs", Peck's "Ahab", Stewart's "Scottie" & his momentary "George Baily", Lancaster's Hunsecker, Wayne's "Ethan", & Cagney's & Davis's multiple roles to name a few.
My favorite Huston film and just about my favorite Bogart, still incredibly influential to this day. Vince Gilligan talked about how he stayed up for a week watching this film over and over--- as his writing prep for creating "Breaking Bad."
Another John Huston movie with Sean Connery and Michael Caine is a Rudyard Kipling adaptation of The Man Who Would Be King. A great adventure story that takes place in India and Kafiristan. Two former British soldiers in 1880s India decide to set themselves up as Kings in Kafiristan, a land where no white man has set foot since Alexander the Great.
Walter Huston is such an underrated actor! This is the film he won an Oscar for, but he's also phenomenal in Dodsworth and The Devil and Daniel Webster.
The actor playing Cody, Bruce Bennett, was also in "Dark Passage" with Bogart and Bacall and was a real athlete, silver medalist in the 1928 Olympics and later went skydiving over Lake Tahoe at 96yo.
Badges? I don't have to show you no stinking badges.😆The line was revised slightly for the classic 1974 Mel Brooks western spoof comedy 'Blazing Saddles' in which one of Hedley Lamarr's gang said, 'badges, we don't need no stinking badges.'🤣
Tim Holt played in alot of westerns back them... later in life he retired from movies and moved to Oklahoma where he had a ranch, bought a radio station...IMO he was a great underrated actor .....
Great job as usual, Madison! It's interesting to put this movie in the context of Humphrey Bogart's career. He started out playing bad guys, gangsters & hit men but after Casablanca, he became the biggest movie star in the world. So this movie (made about five years after Casablanca) was very courageous of Bogart because of his willingness to play such an unlikeable character. And it worked out because this movie was very successful upon its release. Just goes to show that he was an actor first, movie star second. If you want more of Bogart the world-weary cynic but with a heart of gold underneath (similar to his role in Casablanca), the next movie of his you should watch is The Maltese Falcon (also directed by John Huston who directed this movie).
I like the way Walter Huston's character breaks the fourth wall and smiles at us as the Indian girls are pampering him. Bruce Bennett, the actor playing the guy who wanted to horn in on their claim, was also famous as one of the screen Tarzans. The well-to-do gent Bogart keeps panhandling is director John Huston, Walter Huston's son.
The first Bogart movie I ever saw. When I was in college they showed movies on a big screen on Saturday nights. I had no idea going in what I was about to see. Saw To Have and Have Not there too. Been a Bogart fan for 50+
I looked for a reaction to the wonderful movie months ago & there were none on yt. I'm happy to watch it with you first. The little boy that sells Jobbs the lottery ticket is Ribert Blake. While they were filming in Mexico an orphan boy attached himself to the crew & when they finished John Huston took him home with him & raised him as his own. No paperwork, no fuss no muss haha. Curtin is my favorite character too. I always get a kick when Cody introduces himself to Curtin and says "i'm Cody, i'm from Texas" that's so Texan lol. We've always been a proud bunch haha. Queen Elizabeth said as much when she visited in 1991.
My very favorite film of all ever, my father's favorite as well, and my Auntie's favorite Bogart movie (she appeared w/ him in a motion picture). I thought that everything was top-notch about it, and the three of us all agreed Walter Huston was _fantastic_ in his role. And a gr8 reaction (one of only two to date which I'm aware). (One of the comedy flicks I prefer the best is "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World", which I view as the humorous counterpart of this one.)
Stupid trivia: the director, John Huston, was also an actor and was Gandalf the Grey before Ian McKellan. He voiced Gandalf (and did a great job) in the Rankin-Bass version of The Hobbit and The Return of the King (their abbreviated version of Lord of the Rings). More stupid trivia: in the cartoon "8 Ball Bunny" an unshaven Humphrey Bogart becomes a running gag who occasionally trudges onscreen and asks Bugs if he can help out an American down on his luck.
Yay! This is one of the best old Silver Screen classics - directed by John Huston (the tall American who gives silver dollars to Fred C. Dobbs), and Howard is Walter Huston (father of the director) - they BOTH won an Oscar for this, as well as John for an additional Oscar for that screenplay. Alphonso Bedoya delivers the famous, oft misquoted line, "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't neeed no badges. I don't have to show you no STINKING badges!" (#36 of top 100 movie quotes). He appeared in over 175 Mexican films, his last US film being THE BIG COUNTRY (1958).
Walter Huston was a great Canadian actor who graced every film he was in. My favourite performance of his is in "All that Money Can Buy" (aka "The Devil and Daniel Webster").
Others have pointed put that the boy selling the lottery ticket was Robert Blake. For those who don't know who that is, he grew up to star in "In Cold Blood," and later in the TV detective show, "Baretta". And even later, irl, he was tried for mudering his wife in child blood. He was acquitted of criminal charges but found liable in a civil trial. Like OJ
"I don't have to show any stinking badges" is a famous quote movie use din comedies [one of them was Blazing Saddles]. Tis has been misquoted many times as something like "We don't need no stinking badges" and other variations.
"Deadline USA" (1952) is another great film starring Humphrey Bogart--one of the best journalism movies ever, set at the fictional The Day newspaper in what is actually NYC.
$105,000 in 1925 = $1,861,753 today. I can tell that you are a writer due to your fine understanding of the themes of the movie. Great reaction video! 🙂
The guy that staked Bogrt to a meal and was hit on by Bogart a second time was the director, John Houston. His father Walter Houston plays Howard. Walter did not want to take the part because he still saw himself as a leading man and disagreed with John throughout filming. John was vindicated when the movie got 4 Academy Award nominations and won 3 including a best supporting actor Oscar for Walter as well as best director and best screenplay for John. Tim Holt who plays Bob Curtin also has his dad Jack in the movie, he has one line as one of the down on their luck men at the beginning of the movie. Ronald Regan was Houston's choice to play as James Cody but the head of the studio wanted Regan for something else so he was replaced by Bruce Bennet.
This is one of my two favorite movies of all time, the other being Cool Hand Luke. The guy in the white suit is director John Huston. His father, Walter Huston, played Howard. Funny they keep playing the stereotypical sound of the kookaburra bird, when it's only found in Australia and New Guinea. Another great Bogart movie (there are so many) is The Caine Mutiny.
Not only did director John Huston play the generous guy in the white suit, his father here at 4:10 was Walter Huston, a popular actor got the Academy Award for best supporting actor here.
Bogart's first film was The Petrified Forest. It's a borderline western, more of a gangster-western. Bogart plays a great villain, against Leslie Howard's hero. It would also be your first Bette Davis film. A great actress from the middle of the 20th century, 1930s to the 1960s. Some great acting and a fascinating script. This was the first Bogart film i ever saw. Thanks for a great reaction.
8:15 Donkeys are great for having on a farm, they'll warn you if people show up that they're not familiar with and they'll attack coyotes, and help protect smaller animals like goats and sheep. They're stubborn but that's only if they don't trust you. Once they trust you and know you're kind, they're very dependable workers and actually like to learn and play. The smaller Burro donkey is too small to ride, but there is the American mammoth jackstock, which is a very large donkey, about the size of a mule or horse. Sorry about all the donkey stuff, they're just really great animals and a bit misunderstood.
Good one, Madison! I enjoyed rewatching this one with you. You know, another old movie you might really enjoy is the 1968 film Lillies Of The Field with Sidney Poitier. It was nominated for 5 academy awards and Poitier won best actor. If you've never seen that one, you should add it to your some day list. Thanks for sharing this one!
@Madison my 3rd favorite Bogart film after Casablanca and Maltese Falcon. So fun, and still holds up as a tale of action, treasures, friendship and Karma :)
John Huston's dad Walter did probably the best version of "September Song" ever recorded. He is excellent in the title role in "Dodsworth", a classic portrait of a marriage gone stale. He won an Oscar for his role as Howard in "Treasure". It's FOOL'S GOLD, I TELL YA!
Walter's great in an early Frank Capra film, "American Madness", where he plays a shrewd but good hearted bank manager who's trying to save his business.
Love your running commentary. If ya have a hankerin for some more Bogie out west, I’ll be tellin ya where you might look. It’s a film called “The Petrified Forest”. -1936. Here’s the deal; it stars, Bogie, Bette Davis, Leslie Howard and a bunch of other swell people. As I said, it takes place in Arizona but I wouldn’t call it a western. It is actually the film that launched Bogie’s career as a “gangster” a roll he was type cast in quite a lot of films. I’m not giving anything away, but I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s Bogart’s beginnings.
Madison your taste in movies is impeccable. I absolutely adore this movie. When I was 16 in 1986 I discovered this movie and went to all my friends with a copy on VHS to all my friends and tried to get them to watch. They all asked why I liked black and white movies from the 30s and 40s and told me to go watch Top Gun or back to the Future. I said “those movies were good, this is great!” and they just looked at me like I was crazy.
Great reaction Madison, as usual. Another 'modern day western' is the 1955 movie "Bad Day At Black Rock" starring Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Anne Francis. You will absolutely love this movie.
Tim Holt played Curtin. He was also in “The Magnificent Ambersons,” where he played an insufferable rich kid, so this role was quite a departure from that. Check out his IMDB biography. He was a war hero and a cowboy, who starred in many “B” westerns, but also some classic films like this one.
For more Bogart: The African Queen - because it's a must-see classic The Caine Mutiny - not because it's a must-see classic (even though it is) but because I like it and I know you'll like it too.
This has long been one of my favorite movies. I used to watch it every time it came on TV in the days before videos. It is certainly Bogart’s best performance, and he should have gotten the Oscar for it (Olivier notwithstanding), but he wasn’t even nominated. I am also a big fan of Walter Huston (Howard), and I think this was his best performance too (he got an Oscar for best supporting actor). 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 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, one of the best endings in literature or film, I my opinion.
Bruce Bennet (Cody) and Bogart starred in my second-favorite Bogie movie the year before "Dark Passage", although they don't share a scene together. "Treasure" has moved into 3rd place.
Note: the man in the white suit at the beginning, annoyed by Bogart asking for money, was the director, John Houston. His father Walter Houston, plays Howard, and won the Oscar. Whenever Houston [John] and Bogart worked together it was magic...The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, this one...
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction to this great film, Madison. Humphrey Bogart was a very underrated actor, it's films like this which show his range. A film with him that I highly recommend is, 'The African Queen' from 1951 it's a story which takes place during the Second World War, I'll say no more due to spoilers.
As mentioned by others, "The Maltese Falcon" Ooooh yeah!!! "The things... " I'll stop there. Maltese Falcon! OMG what a great film. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Another movie that co starred the director John Huston with Richard Harris was The Man In The Wilderness (1971). It was the movie before The Revenant (2015) that starred Leonardo Dicaprio and Tomas Hardy which was the remake. Also, Clint Eastwood directed and starred in the semi autobiographical White Hunter, Black Heart (1990). "A thinly fictionalized account of a legendary movie director, whose desire to hunt down an animal turns into a grim situation with his movie crew in Africa filming The African Queen. From IMBD.
The trio here were all great actors - Bogart, Tim Holt, and Walter Huston - the father of the director, John Huston. Tim Holt found a niche in B-Westerns, but was well respected, and even played an Earp brother, with Henry Fonda, as Wyatt, in My Darling Clementine. Walter Huston won an Oscar for his role here - and you will see his granddaughter, Anjelica, in John Wick Chapter 3. Great reaction, and thoughts in your outro.
Another brilliant movie choice for the best reaction channel on youtube. Kudos to the patron who requested this awesome film that just gets better with each viewing. Bogart would return to the study of madness and paranoia in The Caine Mutiny, and director John Huston's filmography is another rich vein of treasure to explore.
After making this movie Humphrey Bogart was coming out of the 21 Club in New York when he saw a journalist friend across the street and yelled, "Wait'll you see me in my next picture! I play the biggest sh*t you ever saw!"
Remember Kurt said he wanted to grow fruit and harvest before he ever knew about the Texans family situation. So he probably got want he wanted any ways. Walter Huston also got what he wanted. This is one of my all time favorite movies being Mexican American. The bandit that said " We don't need any stinking badges was a famous Mexican actor.
Tim Holt was a Westerns star' headlining a couple of dozen B-westerns. But among those, he had some notable exceptions: MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, the 1940 original movie version of SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, and a few others. In 1957, costume monsters conquered so many screens, Tim was lasso'd into THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD - a giant sea-worm / caterpillar. Yes, he saved the world.
This movie has a great Director Cameo of John Huston as the man in White who Bogart keeps begging from. John’s father Walter Huston, a big actor in the 20s and 30s plays the older guy. John Huston and Bogart were great friends and drinking buddies. John even read Bogarts eulogy after Bogie died in the 50s.
The little boy who played the kid who sells Bogart the sweepstakes ticket was Robert Blake who would later star in the cop TV show BARETTA and is now in prison for murdering his wife.
The guy in the white suit who gave Bogart (Dobbs) money three times is John Huston, the Director. Howard the old man is Walter Huston, John Huston's father.
In case you don’t know or it hasn’t been commented yet, the actor who played Curtin, Tim Holt, was a great B western star who made a ton of entertaining and enjoyable B westerns over the 30’s-40’s. Unlike a lot of B westerns, these were shot on location and have great stories. I highly recommend them since I know you are a westerns gal.
Walter Huston won a well deserved Oscar for his portrayal as Howard.
Hello, he is
Anjelica Huston's grandfather.
I agree. Also, I highly recommend "Dodsworth" (1936) featuring a younger Walter Huston as a leading man.
the American who gave bogart the coins was john Houston, Walters son!!!
So, Walter, John and Anjelika are the only 3 generation Oscar winning family.
I think this is Bogart's best acting performance. His portrayal of the descent into darkness is phenomenal.
Agreed.
The bandit chieftain also played Gregory Peck's sidekick in "The Big Country".
The little boy selling lottery tickets is Robert Blake billed under his real name Mickey Gubitosi.
Alfonso Bedoya
The Maltese Falcon, a classic film noir directed by Huston and starring Bogart, is considered one of the best detective movies of all time. Also stars Peter Lorre and Sydney Greenstreet who were in Casablanca.
Some more Bogart for you, The African Queen, The Caine Mutiny, The Maltese Falcon, and The Petrified Forest.
Hopefully this review stays up.
For Humphrey Bogart movies, I highly recommend "Sahara" 1943 and "The African Queen" 1951.
There's a Bugs Bunny cartoon where Bogart asks if he could stake a fellow American to a meal.
An interesting, often overlooked Bogart film is "All Through the Night".

...and, of course, the "guy in the white suit" is John Huston, the director. Another FANTASTIC film to react to is Chinatown -- in which John Huston plays quite a riveting role.
And the "Old prospector" is his dad, Walter Huston, who won the Academy Award for this role.
@@jamesoliver6625 Right. And John told his father not to wear his false teeth in the role -- despite his reluctance. And after winning the award, they both agreed that not wearing the dentures helped to win it.
Also, " John Huston's "The Battle of San Pietro" (Restored 1944) " too.
John Huston was also the voice of Gandalf in the Rankin-Bass animated Hobbit and Return of the King.
The “old man” is the director’s FATHER and the tall man in the hat who gave Humphrey Bogart money three times is the DIRECTOR.
Yep, you absolutely "got" it. Thanks for the reaction. Please continue to view additional vintage classics. You're discovering film treasures and I'm enjoying each new discovery. Thanks!
"There's Gold in them hills boys!"
"Badges? We ain't got no stinking badges! We ain't showing no stinking badges!"
This portrayal of Bogart’s is a precursor to his role in ‘The Caine Mutiny’.
Great reaction to a great movie Madison!
Curtin was played by Tim Holt. He was also the young cavalry officer who had to leave in the movie ‘Stagecoach’. Howard was played by Walter Huston, who was the father of John Huston, the director. He was in the movie too. He played the American in the white suit who kept giving Bogart money.

My favorite Huston film and just about my favorite Bogart, still incredibly influential to this day.
Vince Gilligan talked about how he stayed up for a week watching this film over and over--- as his writing prep for creating "Breaking Bad."
Another John Huston movie with Sean Connery and Michael Caine is a Rudyard Kipling adaptation of The Man Who Would Be King. A great adventure story that takes place in India and Kafiristan. Two former British soldiers in 1880s India decide to set themselves up as Kings in Kafiristan, a land where no white man has set foot since Alexander the Great.
That's a good one!
One of mom’s faves. And she had very good taste!
best adaptation of that Kipling classic.
One of the greatest adventure movies ever made.
I 100% agree and endorse it for a reaction
Walter Huston is such an underrated actor! This is the film he won an Oscar for, but he's also phenomenal in Dodsworth and The Devil and Daniel Webster.
I discovered Dodsworth about 45 years ago and fell instantly in love! For a film from the mid 30s, I find the plot very relevant to this day.
And “And Then There Were None…”
Thanks so much, Madison. It's been decades since I saw this movie. What a lesson in morality.
Every character got what he deserved
Sometimes the real treasure are the friends you make along the way.
The actor playing Cody, Bruce Bennett, was also in "Dark Passage" with Bogart and Bacall and was a real athlete, silver medalist in the 1928 Olympics and later went skydiving over Lake Tahoe at 96yo.
Badges? I don't have to show you no stinking badges.😆The line was revised slightly for the classic 1974 Mel Brooks western spoof comedy 'Blazing Saddles' in which one of Hedley Lamarr's gang said, 'badges, we don't need no stinking badges.'🤣

Walter Huston was such a gem!!

Another great reaction!... and...glad you left in one of my favorite moments - the brief look that Howard and Curtin exchange after they say goodbye.
"Deadline USA" (1952) is another great film starring Humphrey Bogart--one of the best journalism movies ever, set at the fictional The Day newspaper in what is actually NYC.

It's performances like this that makes many consider Humphrey Bogart the best actor of all time.
Another classic I haven’t seen! 😲 I’ll have to come back to this after I watch it. 👍
The American in the white suit is the director, John Huston. His father, Walter Huston, is the old-timer prospector.
Maddy, it has bin forever since I've seen this movie. I really forget it existed! Thanks for sharing this great movie 🎥 with us.

They're stubborn but that's only if they don't trust you. Once they trust you and know you're kind, they're very dependable workers and actually like to learn and play.

Sorry about all the donkey stuff, they're just really great animals and a bit misunderstood.
I keep seeing short videos of donkeys enthusiastically recognizing people or other animals they've befriended. Super cool creatures.
I thought people still ride burrows on the grand canyon trail. Or, are they donkeys?
Good one, Madison! I enjoyed rewatching this one with you. You know, another old movie you might really enjoy is the 1968 film Lillies Of The Field with Sidney Poitier. It was nominated for 5 academy awards and Poitier won best actor. If you've never seen that one, you should add it to your some day list. Thanks for sharing this one!
@Madison my 3rd favorite Bogart film after Casablanca and Maltese Falcon. So fun, and still holds up as a tale of action, treasures, friendship and Karma :)
I like that you're watching this older film. Bogart is my favorite actor. I love him and his films. I'll check out more from your channel.
John Huston's dad Walter did probably the best version of "September Song" ever recorded. He is excellent in the title role in "Dodsworth", a classic portrait of a marriage gone stale. He won an Oscar for his role as Howard in "Treasure". It's FOOL'S GOLD, I TELL YA!
Walter's great in an early Frank Capra film, "American Madness", where he plays a shrewd but good hearted bank manager who's trying to save his business.
Almost 3 hour till the premiere. I'm so eager!
Love your running commentary. If ya have a hankerin for some more Bogie out west, I’ll be tellin ya where you might look. It’s a film called “The Petrified Forest”. -1936. Here’s the deal; it stars, Bogie, Bette Davis, Leslie Howard and a bunch of other swell people. As I said, it takes place in Arizona but I wouldn’t call it a western. It is actually the film that launched Bogie’s career as a
“gangster” a roll he was type cast in quite a lot of films. I’m not giving anything away, but I’m sure you’ll love it. It’s Bogart’s beginnings.
Awesome to see reactions like this to some of the old classics.
" We don't need no stinking..."
Badgers!
@@My-Name-Isnt-Important " Wolverines! '😃
We don't got to show you no stinking badges !
Thank you for your reaction Madison!
Madison your taste in movies is impeccable. I absolutely adore this movie.
When I was 16 in 1986 I discovered this movie and went to all my friends with a copy on VHS to all my friends and tried to get them to watch. They all asked why I liked black and white movies from the 30s and 40s and told me to go watch Top Gun or back to the Future. I said “those movies were good, this is great!” and they just looked at me like I was crazy.
Great reaction Madison, as usual.
Another 'modern day western' is the 1955 movie "Bad Day At Black Rock" starring Spencer Tracy, Robert Ryan, Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Anne Francis. You will absolutely love this movie.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!🙏🏻
Tim Holt played Curtin. He was also in “The Magnificent Ambersons,” where he played an insufferable rich kid, so this role was quite a departure from that.
Check out his IMDB biography. He was a war hero and a cowboy, who starred in many “B” westerns, but also some classic films like this one.
For more Bogart:
The African Queen - because it's a must-see classic
The Caine Mutiny - not because it's a must-see classic (even though it is) but because I like it and I know you'll like it too.
This has long been one of my favorite movies. I used to watch it every time it came on TV in the days before videos. It is certainly Bogart’s best performance, and he should have gotten the Oscar for it (Olivier notwithstanding), but he wasn’t even nominated. I am also a big fan of Walter Huston (Howard), and I think this was his best performance too (he got an Oscar for best supporting actor). 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 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, one of the best endings in literature or film, I my opinion.
Bruce Bennet (Cody) and Bogart starred in my second-favorite Bogie movie the year before "Dark Passage", although they don't share a scene together. "Treasure" has moved into 3rd place.
Great reaction, Madison. I'm glad you decided to start the "Legend" level patreon instead of cutting back to 3 reactions a month.
One of my favorites Bogart films, great reaction vid
Note: the man in the white suit at the beginning, annoyed by Bogart asking for money, was the director, John Houston. His father Walter Houston, plays Howard, and won the Oscar. Whenever Houston [John] and Bogart worked together it was magic...The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, this one...
Tim Holt who played Curtin and was in the movie Stage Coach but played in a lot of B westerns in the 40s and 50s.
❤❤❤ Thank you so much! You've restored my faith in humanity. ❤❤❤
OMG...you hit upon not just one of the best..."westerns" ever.
Wow. so so good.
Me thinks one of the top 500 movies of all time.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your reaction to this great film, Madison. Humphrey Bogart was a very underrated actor, it's films like this which show his range. A film with him that I highly recommend is, 'The African Queen' from 1951 it's a story which takes place during the Second World War, I'll say no more due to spoilers.
He's not under rated--either then or now.😮
"The African Queen" is set during WW1, not WW2.
As mentioned by others, "The Maltese Falcon"
Ooooh yeah!!! "The things... " I'll stop there.
Maltese Falcon! OMG what a great film.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Always liked the ending where they can laugh it all off and realize they didnt lose as much as dobsey
Also about The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre, it was the first movie to be shot on location.
I like to quote several lines from this film. I also memed Howard’s happy dance. Bruce Bennett (Cody) became one of Hollywood’s centenarians.
Another movie that co starred the director John Huston with Richard Harris was The Man In The Wilderness (1971). It was the movie before The Revenant (2015) that starred Leonardo Dicaprio and Tomas Hardy which was the remake.
Also, Clint Eastwood directed and starred in the semi autobiographical White Hunter, Black Heart (1990). "A thinly fictionalized account of a legendary movie director, whose desire to hunt down an animal turns into a grim situation with his movie crew in Africa filming The African Queen. From IMBD.
The trio here were all great actors - Bogart, Tim Holt, and Walter Huston - the father of the director, John Huston. Tim Holt found a niche in B-Westerns, but was well respected, and even played an Earp brother, with Henry Fonda, as Wyatt, in My Darling Clementine.
Walter Huston won an Oscar for his role here - and you will see his granddaughter, Anjelica, in John Wick Chapter 3.
Great reaction, and thoughts in your outro.
Another brilliant movie choice for the best reaction channel on youtube. Kudos to the patron who requested this awesome film that just gets better with each viewing. Bogart would return to the study of madness and paranoia in The Caine Mutiny, and director John Huston's filmography is another rich vein of treasure to explore.
Oh yes! I know you had fun with this one! Humphrey was very good in this one! Super Thanks! Be Well Lady!
Wonderful reaction!! Thanks!
An overlooked Bogie gem is All Through the Night, which includes some of his pals from Casablanca.
After making this movie Humphrey Bogart was coming out of the 21 Club in New York when he saw a journalist friend across the street and yelled, "Wait'll you see me in my next picture! I play the biggest sh*t you ever saw!"
Hi Madison, I like your reaction videos for classic movies like this one.
Best wishes in all things and I will look forward to more content.
I think this is one of the greatest movies ever made.
The Ox-Bow Incident is also worth checking out!
Remember Kurt said he wanted to grow fruit and harvest before he ever knew about the Texans family situation. So he probably got want he wanted any ways. Walter Huston also got what he wanted. This is one of my all time favorite movies being Mexican American. The bandit that said " We don't need any stinking badges was a famous Mexican actor.
Another good choice! Around the 25:00 minute mark, it reminded me of his performance in "The Caine Mutiny" another great Bogart movie.
Finally! A truly great movie for Bogart.
You said you're taking a break from Madtober, but Dobbs fits right in. 😄
Tim Holt was a Westerns star' headlining a couple of dozen B-westerns. But among those, he had some notable exceptions: MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS, the 1940 original movie version of SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON, and a few others. In 1957, costume monsters conquered so many screens, Tim was lasso'd into THE MONSTER THAT CHALLENGED THE WORLD - a giant sea-worm / caterpillar. Yes, he saved the world.
I always liked seeing Robert Blake playing the kid.
Caine Mutiny is another classic Humphrey Bogart movie, particularly the courtroom drama.
This movie has a great Director Cameo of John Huston as the man in White who Bogart keeps begging from.
John’s father Walter Huston, a big actor in the 20s and 30s plays the older guy.
John Huston and Bogart were great friends and drinking buddies. John even read Bogarts eulogy after Bogie died in the 50s.
The little boy who played the kid who sells Bogart the sweepstakes ticket was Robert Blake who would later star in the cop TV show BARETTA and is now in prison for murdering his wife.
The guy in the white suit who gave Bogart (Dobbs) money three times is John Huston, the Director. Howard the old man is Walter Huston, John Huston's father.
In case you don’t know or it hasn’t been commented yet, the actor who played Curtin, Tim Holt, was a great B western star who made a ton of entertaining and enjoyable B westerns over the 30’s-40’s. Unlike a lot of B westerns, these were shot on location and have great stories. I highly recommend them since I know you are a westerns gal.
