Gold - Ougon (English spelling) The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Gold - Ougon (English spelling) The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

American film. 1948. Directed by John Huston. A masterpiece of the so-called "effort goes to waste" type of adventure story, which was Huston's specialty. Three Americans (Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt (1919-1973), and Walter Huston (1884-1950)) discover gold dust after a hard time in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico, but they become obsessed with possessiveness and suspicion, and end up losing everything. Director Huston portrays this with a rough and matter-of-fact touch that he developed while making documentary films in the fierce battlefields of World War II. This film, which Huston himself adapted from a novel by B. Traven (1882-1969), won the Academy Award for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor. Huston won two awards, and he and his father Walter Huston also achieved the feat of being the first father-son duo to win awards.

アメリカ映画。1948年作品。ジョン・ヒューストン監督。ヒューストンが得意とした、いわゆる「努力水泡」型冒険物語の代表作。メキシコのシエラマドレ山中で苦労の末、砂金を発見した三人のアメリカ人(ハンフリー・ボガート、ティム・ホルトTim Holt(1919―1973)、ウォルター・ヒューストンWalter Huston(1884―1950))が、独占欲や猜疑(さいぎ)心の虜(とりこ)となって、最後にはすべてを失ってしまう。これを監督のヒューストンは、第二次世界大戦中に激戦地でのドキュメンタリー映画制作で培った荒々しいまでの即物的タッチで描いていく。B・トレイブンB. Traven(1882―1969)の小説をヒューストン自身が脚色したこの映画は、アカデミー監督賞、脚色賞、助演男優賞を受賞。ヒューストンは2部門で、また、父親のウォルター・ヒューストンと史上初の親子受賞の快挙も達成した。
