The Treasure of the Sierra Madre movie review


Directed by John Huston

Starring: Humphrey Bogart
---Spoilers included-------
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is an awesome film and offers in depth analysis of greed, friendship, loyalty, trust and betrayal. Coming to movie, it tells the story of an American drifter Fred C. Dobbs, played by Humphrey Bogart, begging for pesos in Tampico, Mexico and searching for work. As story progresses, he meets another drifter like him Curtin, played by Tim Holt & friendship between them. Accidentally both meats old prospector Howard, played by Walter Huston, who excites & inflects Gold fever. Even before going, old timer warns both Fred and Curtin about that if they find gold, it has the potential to ruin their lifes. Eventually all three men go in to the hills for finding fortune. As plot unfolds we will see characters changes after finding the fortune. All actors did a terrific job & in particular Bogart's last scenes were memorable. This is a wonderful movie for character analysis and almost everything about it is extraordinary. Recommended to all & one of the finest movies ever made.
