1935159381935. Film and Entertainment Traven B. "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre." New York. 1935. This is the copy used by Warner Brothers Story Department for making the 1948 film adaptation of the story about the corrupting influence of greed. with "WB 1122" Warner Bros written in white ink near the base of the spine. "IMPORTANT! RETURN Story Dept." stamped on the front free end page. Black boards and binding with book title engraved on cover and gilded stamp of title and author name on spine. The film starring Humphrey Bogart won three Academy Awards.<br /> <br /> First American Edition Second printing. An important piece of Hollywood history. "WB 1122" Warner Bros written in white ink near the base of the spine. "IMPORTANT! RETURN Story Dept." stamped on the front free end page. This book was used for John Huston's 1948 film adaptation which became one of Warner Bros' most enduring classic films. Penciled in the upper left hand corner of the front free end page are the names of two Hollywood executives Henry Blanke who produced the film and Vincent Sherman who directed the film. The names were written when they checked out the book from the vault and upon return the name and date was crossed out. Henry Blanke was one of the film's producers and Vincent Sherman directed the film. Near fine condition. No dustjacket. This book represents the starting point in the chain of events that turned this outstanding novel into one of the most important movies of Hollywood's Golden Age. Director John Huston first read the novel by B. Traven in 1935 and had always thought the material would make a great movie with his father in the main role. Based on a 19th-century ballad by a German poet Traven's book reminded Huston of his own adventures in the Mexican cavalry. B. Traven was the pen name of a presumably novelist whose real name nationality date and place of birth and details of biography are all still subject to dispute. One of the few certainties about Traven's life is that he lived for years in Mexico where the majority of his fiction is also set including The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. unknown
