Hollywood Studios Year-by-Year – Warner Brothers - 1948: THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE & JOHNNY BELINDA

For this 1948 Warner Bros Studios Year by Year episode, we watched a couple of the studio's most prestigious releases for the year, John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and Jean Negulesco's Johnny Belinda. We explore some extraordinary performances by Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, and Jane Wyman in these tales of capitalist nihilism and rural prejudice.  Time Codes: 0h 00m 25s:      THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE [dir.
