The Treasure of the Sierra Madre

The film was based on, and is quite faithful to the novel of the same name (1927 in German, 1935 in English) by enigmatic author B. Traven.

The film is the origin of a famous line, often misquoted as "We don't need no stinking badges!" The correct dialog (see also Stinking badges) is:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Gold Hat (Alfonso Bedoya): We are Federales... you know, the mounted police.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Dobbs (Bogart): If you're the police, where are your badges?

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

:Gold Hat (Alfonso Bedoya): "Badges!? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!
