The Treasure Of The Sierra MadreThe Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a 1948 John Huston film in which two down-and-outers (Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt) in Mexico (bothering director John Huston for money in fun opening cameo) hook up with an old-timer (Walter Huston, the director's father) to prospect for gold. The old-timer accurately predicts trouble but is willing to go anyway. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre was one of the first films to be shot almost entirely on location (though the night scenes were filmed back in the studio). The film was based on, and is quite faithful to the novel of the same name (1927 in German, 1935 in English) by enigmatic author B. Traven. The film is the origin of a famous line, often misquoted as "We don't need no stinking badges!" The correct dialog (see also Stinking badges is: - Gold Hat (Alfonso Bedoya): We are Federales... you know, the mounted police.
- Dobbs (Bogart): If you're the police, where are your badges?
- Gold Hat (Alfonso Bedoya): pause "Badges!? pause We ain't got no badges. pause We don't need no badges! angry I don't have to show you any stinking badges!
