56-The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - Director: John Huston - Cast: Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston and Tim Holt.

"American film critics are the worst in the world. As a whole they are not serious enough about film. The young ones are irresponsible, and the old ones are deadly dull. The best criticism is in the European newspapers. . . . [They] treat a film like a work of art."
-John Huston-

"Directing is simply an extension of the process of writing. The most important element to me is always the idea that I'm trying to express. The audience should not be aware of what the camera is doing. They should be following the action and the road of the idea. I don't believe in overdressing anything. No extra words, no extra images, no extra music. But it seems to me that this is the universal principle of art."

"Daring, unpredictable, maddening, mystifying and probably the most charming man on earth."

"I've lived a number of lives. I'm inclined to envy the man who leads one life, with one job, and one wife, in one country, under one God. It may not be a very exciting existence, but at least by the time he's seventy-three he knows how old he is."
-John Huston-
