John. Houston won two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay for the film, his father Walter. Houston won the Best Supporting Actor Award, creating a story of father and son winning on the same stage. This adventure classic is set in Mexico in the twenties. Humphrey. Bogart and Tim. Holt, the two homeless Americans who worked hard but were defrauded of their wages, accidentally received money from old man Walter. Houston heard that there were gold mines in the Madeling Mountains, and went to gold panning together. After going through thousands of mountains and rivers, they finally found the golden sand, but the rampant bandits also came, and the three played tricks with each other in order to occupy the golden sand, but in the end, no one got any benefit. "Humanity's greed" is the focus of the whole film. It is really amazing to see a manly man turn into a mean person because of profit.
