That "fellow American" is the director of the film, John Houston. I have read some people are asking the value of the 1925 Mexican peso. The Federal reserve bulletin dated Jan 1929 lists the average annual exchange rates against the US dollar for 1922-1928. It says in 1925 the average exchange rate was 49.3926 expressed in (American) cents per unit of foreign currency. So 1 Mexican peso equals 49.3926 cents or essentially 2 pesos to the dollar.
Still the greatest American film of all-time. The best combination of creative expression and realism ever put on film. Huston & Bogart reach their peak together in this masterwork of art.
Good observation , but it’s art , not documentary…and if it were really like the twenties people would be much better dressed . The whole film had a 40s look…
Thrilling charisma from two greats. Borgart is the great actor, but Huston is no duffer either. I always seem to forget how marvelous he was on screen.
@@johnraz75 Since your reply, I rewatched the video, and noticed something I missed the first time. Bogart is given a single peso each time, by the man in white. Apparently a single peso was a lot of money back then. Currently, a Mexican Peso is worth 5 cents VS the USA dollar, or 20 to 1. I remember a time in the mid 1980's when the peso was 400 to 1 against the USA dollar.
@@johnraz75 Pretty cool to have John and Walter Huston in the same movie. And the money, yeah, now that I think of it, my grandfather made I think, $12 a week around the late 30's, and it was considered a good wage. Later, my dad, working as an industrial electrician, made $4 per hour, and was very happy with the wage, and 40 hour work week in 1960.
I read the novel not too long ago and, for the most part, Huston stuck closely to the source material. He had to leave out some of the more brutal violence and the racism stemming from the principle players because of the production code.
(SPOILER ALERT) The scene where Bogart is decapitated by the bandits. Huston wanted to actually film the head rolling down into the lake. He even had a prop head of Bogie made and was all set to shoot. If I remember the rest of the story, they filmed the head scene, but censors immediately wanted the scene cut.
@@michaelj.r457 Wow, rolling heads in the 1940s, not surprised they didn't allow it. First rolling head I ever saw was Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte in the mid '60s.
With the amount of work bogey did with Houston that's quite the statement about occasionally going to somebody else and getting through life without his help haha
Marc duPont That's in the novel, I read that book TWICE, Huston playing the Man in the White Suit; Dobbs asked him for money 3 times, ALL in the same day! And I wish Huston followed the story at the end, when all the gold was lost except for two full sacks of it, and Howard didn't want them, he gave them to Curtin.
I'm not rich man, but I don't mind taking a fellow American to a meal once or twice, or maybe even a few times. The other guy was a real gentleman and stern but fair with his words.
@@willoughby1888 The best way to counter such belittling is to take it in stride, and ignore it, or laugh at it. Nothing makes them feel worse than to be rebuked thusly.
John Huston: “…but from now on, you have to make your way through life without my assistance.” Also John Huston: **casts Bogart in The African Queen and Beat the Devil**
This is why we have panhandlers... Ask any panhandler if they be interested in raking your leaves washing your car doing anything for you for 20 40 even 60 bucks.. they won't leave their spot they're making more money there.. unless they're outside of a city..saying all this I don't hate them, they are there for the $, but I'll never pity one nor shame anyone who says no to them.
I don't mind erring on the side of generosity. And my experience, when I once offered a panhandler $$ for a job, was that he took it with enthusiasm. I guess we have different karma, eh? "And pity would be no more/If we made nobody poor," says William Blake. Heard of him?
This is still going on. it was particularly bad at the local Walmart but the Town council banned panhandling and started handing out $50 fines. Problem solved.
@@johnhein2539 So yes, son. It's odd, and wrong, even then. Disney's Pinocchio predated Sierra Madre, and even that film portrayed kid smoking as fucked. If the OP thinks it's strange, then he's right on the money.
i use this line with some of my friends just to see if they will hand over a five spot, if they acquiesce i know they are true friends, of course i never take the money, it’s all about the intent
@@josecarranza7555 Huh? It's a highly regarded and very enjoyable b&w movie from the late 1940s directed by John Huston & starring Bogart. The famous line: ""Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!" comes from it.

I like the slang "put the bite on me".
Director, actor, man of the world, great friend of Orson Wells... Mr. John Huston.
Notice how, the second time, Bogart makes the classic Bogart move. Gotta love it.
Say, pardon me but, could you help out a fellow American who's down on his luck?
"Hit the road"!
Bugs Bunny LOL (smile)
If you know you know. 🐰
🎵 If he should accomplish this daring thing,
A miracle to Martinique, Bugs did bring. 🎵
I really like Huston's distinctive voice.
In "Moby Dick" he's the barkeeper uncredited and
unrecognizable but you know that voice right away.
A young John Huston as the generous gentleman. :)
nice clip - it's great to see John Huston in this- I have seen this move 10 times and never realized it was him.

This movie is supposed to be set in 1925, but at about 1:20 look in the mirror when Bogart is in the Barber Shop, it shows a 1940s car drive by!
Major goof
Nice catch!
He went back to the future for that shot.
