Haha is this where the crazy old prospector character who bursts out into a little jig came from? I swear I’ve seen that before. Maybe from an old cartoon or something
This is my favorite Western with Liberty Valance a close second. I wish Walter spent more time in Hollywood although he obviously learned a lot on Bway. Bogie & Huston are truly memorable in this fine film.
Howard is giving the labor theory of value. The capitalist Adam Smith, and the Communist Karl Marx both adopted the labor theory of value. But there's more to it. There's a matter of what catches people's fancy. People write best selling novels, and get rich. But most books don't sell very many copies. The difference isn't determined by how much labor went into them. There is the difference between skilled, and unskilled labor. There is good, and bad management, and entreprenurial activity.
Great monologue, but the thing that sticks with me is the response to it, that gold doesn’t change people, just reveals, and by the end of the film that’s just what’s happened.
"Gold ain't good for nothing but making jewelry and gold teeth." I like how the movie starts with a line about how worthless gold is.... and then what follows.
I think Willie from the Simpsons did that awesome dance. Or maybe was the old captain. I don't know. I'm pretty sure I saw someone do that dance in the Simpsons.
This movie is the most perfect allegory of that famous quote by Henry Ford: “Money doesn't change men, it merely unmasks them. If a man is naturally selfish or arrogant or greedy, the money brings that out, that's all.” A timeless and still very relevant masterpiece!
In questo film il mitico John Houston uno dei registi capostipidi della scuola dei film western americani sà dosare sapientemente il racconto non rendendolo monotematico come i suoi classici western ma alla base di esso c'è una vicenda umana molto toccante e drammatica che fotografa a pieno un determinato periodo della storia americana cioè quello della febbre e della corsa al oro avvenuto come fenomeno sociale e storico prima della cosiddetta febbre del petrolio cioè la corsa alla ricerca dell'oro nero il racconto parla di tre poveri disperati che volevano dare una svolta alla loro vita trasformando la propria povertà in ricchezza andando alla ricerca del oro e rischiando la loro vita per questo nel paese dei banditi cioè il Messico il film è perfetto sotto ogni punto di vista e mi meraviglio come non abbia potuto vincere una valanga di premi Oscar gli attori del film sono tutti eccezionali per la loro grande interpretazione Humprey Bogart " IMMENSO " ci sono stati molti grandissimi film americani nella storia di Hollywood passati inosservati ed ora capisco anche perchè gli americani non abbiano mai saputo apprezzare il cinema straniero ed italiano perchè molti dei loro capolavori sono rimasti senza riconoscimenti importanti al Accademia del cinema risultando solo uno sforzo uno spreco ed un impegno economico e di risorse enorme senza risultato sè non gli incassi da botteghino nei cinema e nei drive in.
He absolutely stole the scene. Such an expressive face, he ran the scene with his eyes alone... unusual for a kid that young. My husband's cousin worked with him on Baretta.
Russell Johnson said he copied the Houston jig in the "Jack and the beanstalk" episode of Gilligan's Island. Shame the camera was close in as you can't see his feet when he does it.
One of the all time classic films directed by John Huston. Great dialogue, great acting and a thoroughly gripping story. Walter Huston was simply marvellous as the eccentric, grizzled elderly gold prospector.
his performance is.... I don't have a word that enough to describe his amazingness, so glad that he got the oscar for this but i'm sad knowing that he passed away just a year after... you will be remembered forever.
Still the greatest American film of all-time. The ultimate combination of realism & creative expression. The incomparable tandem of Huston & Bogart reached their zenith with this masterwork of art.
A well deserved Oscar for this performance, Walter Huston, a Canadian, was one of the finest American actors of the 1930s and '40s. Although little remembered today. Huston (John's father) was a compelling performer in straight drama (Dodsworth is a standout) as well as quirky comedic roles, in particular The Devil and Daniel Webster. If you ever see his name associated with a film, buy it, rent it, watch it. you'll be glad you did.
Bogart and Western icon Holt are magnificent but Walter Huston gives one of the greatest performances ever filmed. Quiet and serene, and then dancing as he calls the men fools for not seeing the gold at their feet. The 'I know what Gold does the Men's souls' speech is simply one of the best monologues ever.

Awesome haircut
Dez,cara,dez
Dead men walking when you go gold digging. Gold in them thar hills and death.
So fit for a 65 year old. ...😊❤

Love his dance. Billy Crystal has it down cold.

Wise old man, bitter middle age man, young and naive guy. Wonderful depicted characters.
"It wouldn't be that way with Me!" great line from Bogart
"Gold ain't good for nothing but making jewelry and gold teeth." I like how the movie starts with a line about how worthless gold is.... and then what follows.
Walter Huston ❤❤❤ ...now, there's a legendary Hollywood actor ❤
One word for.this movie great
I think Willie from the Simpsons did that awesome dance. Or maybe was the old captain. I don't know. I'm pretty sure I saw someone do that dance in the Simpsons.
Mr Lincoln and the outlaw by Walter huston what a voice he had
OCT 2022 !!
Interesante película . Soy de Tampico y nunca la Vi . Y otra cosa vivo en Houston

Trump. He's a Shakespearian tragedy.
That, friends, is brilliant acting. Complete believability. Today's "stars" can't hold a candle to him.
You said it, buster! When movies were real, movies.
There is more truth about sudden fortune in this movie than you can imagine. Ask any lottery grand prize winner.

O todas las películas que hayan hecho en Tampico cuando yo todavía no conocía esta sangrienta ya vida de todos los días
Me gustaría ver esa película completa y en español castellano o de perdido subtitulada
Robert Blake who played the Mexican boy selling the lottery tickets is still alive but no one gives him any respect,........... tragic 🤨
He absolutely stole the scene. Such an expressive face, he ran the scene with his eyes alone... unusual for a kid that young. My husband's cousin worked with him on Baretta.
Listen ye children: Howard just described the whole of Karl Marx's "Das Kapital". You don't have to read that tome, just watch this movie clip!
Russell Johnson said he copied the Houston jig in the "Jack and the beanstalk" episode of Gilligan's Island. Shame the camera was close in as you can't see his feet when he does it.
one of the greatest monologues in the history of moves
"Some guys go nutty with it".....meaning HE'D go nutty with it or else he'd be out there.
Its rich but not that rich. And here ain't the place to dig.
E P I C ⛏️💰💰💰
One of the best adventure movies ever. Jeremiah Johnson is my second favorite.
What a straight up gangster Walter Huston was
The amazing Walter Huston! His performance as Howard, the grizzled, elderly gold miner was truly remarkable! This film is a real classic!
Huston was outstanding in this film. He dominates the screen!
Walter Huston was magnificent as the grizzled, elderly gold prospector! A superb actor!

he won a well-deserved oscar for this role, bitches.
i love this old bastard.
There will be gold.
Still the greatest American film of all-time. The ultimate combination of realism & creative expression. The incomparable tandem of Huston & Bogart reached their zenith with this masterwork of art.
Walter Huston made this movie even though all were brilliant particularly Bogart!🤠⛏️💰⚖️🇲🇽🏕️🏜️
Brilliant scene Walter Huston so deserved his Academy Award!🤠💰⛏️⚖️
super

Another terrific Walter Huston performance can be found in Frank Capra's "American Madness" about a bank run.

Quiet and serene, and then dancing as he calls the men fools for not seeing the gold at their feet. The 'I know what Gold does the Men's souls' speech is simply one of the best monologues ever.
Yes. Breathtaking. Absolutely.
Which is why he won the Oscar and deserved it while thanking his son with his acceptance speech!!!
Completely agree - this one speech captures Silicon Valley to a T!
Couldn't have said it better myself! 👍
This is a classic film Walter Huston's September Song brought me here, a golden oldie superb.
this is my favorite film of all-time. it was when I was a little kid and it still is today altho Kubrick's 'Lolita' is a strong 2nd
