The one sheet has had touchup to the folds to address bits of paper loss and fold wear. There were several pinholes and some of the white background has been airbrushed.

The more he yearns for a woman's arms . . . the fiercer he lusts for the treasure that cursed them all!" - Two down-on-their-luck Americans searching for work in 1920s Mexico convince an old prospector to help them mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains.

BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : In his Oscar acceptance speech, Walter Huston said, "Many, many years ago, I brought up a boy and I said to him, 'Son, if you ever become a writer, try to write a good part for your old man sometime'.
