So I wanted to continue going through more classic films in this years blind spot lists and, seeing how I’ve not seen any films staring Humphrey Bogart, I thought Treasure of the Sierra Madre would be a good fit. Now I’m familiar with elements of parody that this film inspired, mainly from Looney Tunes and… Continue reading 2017 Blind Spots: Treasure of the Sierra Madre
