LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1948 adventure drama, “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,” starring Humphrey Bogart, screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 1 and 6 p.m.
Entry to the film is by donation.
John Huston directs this superior morality play shot entirely on location in Mexico.
It’s one of the best movie treatments of the corrosiveness of greed, with Bogart in perfect pitch playing a decent guy whose character slowly crumbles before the god of gold.
Huston won Oscars for both Director and Screenplay while his father, Walter Huston, won a Best Supporting Actor award for the same film.
The movie is sponsored by Frank and Michaelee Murphy. Not rated. Run time is two hours and six minutes.
The Soper Reese Theatre is located at 275 S. Main St., Lakeport, 707-263-0577, www.soperreesetheatre.com.
