Hello there!
This is my first thread. I'm a Humphrey Bogart film fan, and if I say so myself, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is his best role, it's just my favorite. Casablanca is excellent too, but I would rather place that second place, as I prefer Sierra Madre for some reason. Maybe it's just that I have a thing for the old adventure film genre (Indiana Jones is the best modern example of this too).
I saw this film two times, it's great, but I was wondering if a color version of this gem exists? I see some pictures or posters of it online that are color, like this one, particularly the one to the right:
(Maybe it's just artwork?)
and this:
Has there ever been an attempt to restore the film to color? I love the black and white version as it is, but it would be a whole new experience to see it in color for the first time, and this film is in my personal top ten of all time.
