Review of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) by Robert P — 11 Mar 2008
"That's gold. That's what it does to us. Never know a prospector yet who died rich". The whole film cuts acrosss to the audience with inciscion and humour. Humphrey is perfect as a scehming, dreaming bum down on his luck in Mexico.
Profound in it's positioning of gold as nothing but a burden, and real depth to Humphrey's performance as he descends into a greed filled paranoic madness.
