Review of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) by Addison B — 11 Feb 2008
They don't make films like this anymore.
Some of the best quotes and moments of cinematic history derive from this film.
"Badges, we don't got no badges, I Don't Need to show you No STINKING BADGES!".
As well as the scene with one guy watching the other guy over a span of 24 hours and slowly falling asleep.
I loved it, Bogart was a badass as is expected and there were great performances from Tim Holt and Walter Huston as well.
There Will Be Blood definitely took a page or two from this ol'fashioned epic.
If you ever run across it, give it a chance, who knows, you may like it.
