A little long, but otherwise a good film. Bogart is great as the man whom the gold turns mad. Yes, this is a good adventure film, but I think it's an even better film about greed and what greed can do to the mind.
I don't know how Bogart wasn't even nominated for an Academy Award. It just doesn't make sense. |

A memorable and nuanced portrayal of greed and obsession. I would argue that this is one of Humphrey Bogart's best performances and the gritty direction and cinematography really adds a layer of sweat and grime to this frantic tale, which makes it hit home all the harder. |

I should've liked this movie. But, something about it just kept me from liking it too much. And, I don't know what it was. |

So this is what adventure feels like!!. Humphrey Bogart is on the hunt for gold with 2 friends, but once they find it, will there friendships remain? or will the greed of man pull them apart like warm bread. This really is such a good film. Long, at over 2 hours, but not long enough. If you want to know what all the fuss is about Bogart, forget Casablanca, just watch this. |

The Treasure of Sierra Madre review |

An adventure mixed with drama and humor. A classic that heavily influenced Paul Thomas Anderson to write There Will Be Blood. Dobbs (Humphrey Bogart) and Curtin (Tim Holt) and Howard (Walter Huston) search for gold in the Sierra Madre mountains. Locations were well picked. Bogart and Huston were just fascinating in their roles. Cinematography, direction, endearing score and pace of the storytelling excellent. Screenplay was superb with lines: Howard - "Anything can happen." Curtin - I'd fight for you and yours just as I'd fight for the old man." Dobbs - "Conscience. What a thing. If you've got a conscience it will pester you to death." and the famous line from the Bandit leader - " "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badg... |

"The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" by Yojimbo |
|
Two down at heel Americans stranded in the backwaters of Mexico use the last of their money to go searching for gold in the company of grizzled old prospector Walter Huston. Unfortunately when they strike it rich, avarice turns them against each other resulting in deceit and murder. John Huston's classic story of greed is based upon The Pardoner's Tale from Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales. It's basically a morality story warning of the dangers of greed and how the promise of wealth can blacken a man's heart; in this case Humphrey Bogart in quite possibly his finest performance. Huston is also marvellous as the pragmatic and worldly wise old geezer who predicted everything that occurs to the disbelief of his initially wide eyed and enthusiastic partners. The suspense builds tangibly as the ... |
