Review of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) by Mike T — 06 Nov 2009
John Huston handles this project with masterful grace, structuring it in such a way that emphasizes the themes without being overly forceful. It's a beautifully directed film that makes full use of its locations, imbedding the audience in a gritty atmosphere.
The photography is exquisitely composed, and the screenplay is full of powerful dialogue. Humphrey Bogart delivers one of his finest and most unsettling performances here, standing out in a cast of solid actors.
This movie is constantly praised as one of the best American pictures in history, and I have to say it lives up to its status.
