Explore the impact of director John Huston on the film industry and his ability to craft timeless movies. Discover the darker side of genre storytelling in his game-changing film The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre.
Few filmmakers have had quite as significant an impact on the industry at large as director John Huston . Many of Huston’s best films, such as The Maltese Falcon, The African Queen, The Man Who Would Be King, Key Largo, or The Misfits haven’t aged a day; they’re so finely crafted that they hold up just as well for a modern audience.
While Huston is often thought of as a “populist filmmaker” because of how enjoyable his films are, that shouldn't suggest that he was in any way cautious about exploring the darker side of genre storytelling. Huston’s game-changing 1948 adventure film The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre is among the bleakest westerns of the classical era and shows the corrupting nature of greed in explicit detail. There’s one moment from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre that was so disturbing, it gave Huston difficulty getting the film past censors
