Gone with the wind

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

(1948)
I was a little hard on John Huston's acting the last time I screened this; this time I saw clearly a young man en route to becoming Noah Cross. But Daddy still steals the show--his fits of hilarity that leave his compadres befuddled are among the best laughs in the movies.
