Review of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) by Ébel C — 23 Mar 2010
Bogart and Walter Houston play at each other with iconic performances that prove to be the highlight of each man's career. Bogart in particular is near maniacal as Dobbs, a paranoid leech to the bone.
Tim Holt (who looks remarkably like Russel Crowe in this movie) brings the perfect balance with his part to this trio of adventurers. The Mexican locales enhance the picture, but the production design doesn't let down either.
Like There Will be Blood and Trespass, this movie is a cinematic essay on the evils of greed that is not to be missed.
