#13. The Treasure of Sierra Madre - Review

The Treasure of Sierra Madre PosterThe Treasure of Sierra Madre is a classic tale of man fighting, and also embracing, his twisted nature. After three American’s team-up to mine gold in the dangerous mountains of Mexico, each man must struggle with their own greed when they strike it rich. While they contend with each other, they must also survive attacks by Mexican banditos, Gila monsters, and conniving miners.

The cast is spectacular, with Humphrey Bogart giving one of his most thorny, vulnerable performances. That being said, it is Walter Huston’s weathered miner Howard that steals the show. Classic flick, I recommend The Treasure of Sierra Madre to anyone interested in classic films, but too intimidated to give any a shot.
