Revealing mistake: When Howard and Curtin chase Dobbs, they pass a dead donkey which is obviously breathing, and the rope used to tie its legs together is visible too.
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
1 revealing mistake - chronological order
Directed by: John Huston
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Bruce Bennett, Tim Holt
Visible crew/equipment: In the scene When Dobbs is panicking as he searches for the body of his not-so dead partner, who he had tried to kill the night before, he stumbles left and right. The camera pans a bit to far revealing the studio lot, building and fence, and a crew member sitting by a truck or machine.
Dobbs: This is the country where the nuggets of gold are just crying out for you to take them out of the ground and make 'em shine in coins on the fingers and necks of swell dames.
Trivia: Director John Huston has a cameo as the white-suited man who gets increasingly irritated when Humphrey Bogart repeatedly begs him for money.
