Review of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) by Jorge G — 29 Sep 2008
A gripping adventure story of deranged greed and reluctant loyalty, starring Bogart as an initially likeable bum who turns into a murderous, paranoid materialist who descends into madness. Walter Huston as the wise, fast talking prospector and Tim Holt as Bob Curtin, the film's everyman, do a fantastic job.
The action sequences are great, but what sticks out is the witty dialogue, strong plot and characterization and the Shakespearean element to the story, in particular it's tragically ironic ending.
