Product Description

Gold in the hills, avarice in the hearts of men. Two hard-luck drifters (Humphrey Bogart and Tim Holt) and a grizzled prospector (Walter Huston) discover gold. Then greed and paranoia set in. John Huston won Academy Awards for his direction and screenplay. And his dad took the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Without awards, but with enduring acclaim, is Bogart's performance, transforming from a likable hobo to a heartless thug simmering in greed. Treasures place on the American Film Institute’s Top 100 American Films list reaffirms it's still a powerful movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bogart at his best
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2024

If you usually think of Bogart as "Rick" from Casablanca or as "Sam Spade from Maltese Falcon," give him a look in this one. Bogart plays Fred C. Dobbs - a down and out, amoral panhandler stuck in Mexico. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not seen it, but PLEASE rent it. After this movie was made, Bogart won the Oscar for the most insipid movie of his career "African Queen" when he really deserved it for this movie. Sigh...politics, I guess.

AND as for Oscars - a guy named Alfonso Bedoya really deserved one. He plays the 'bandit with the gold' to bone chilling perfection.

All I can say is that if you like vintage, classic perfect films, do watch this one. Bet you watch it more than once!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Story telling several great performances and lessons for all
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2014

Bottom Line first:
Treasure of the Sierra Madres belongs in every man cave. Families should have a tradition of passing it down as a matter of film cultural heritage. This is a classic morality play. Fate demands it's just reward, but the good must also learn their lessons. It is old time story-telling and rich entertainment.
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
In the arts, and esp in classic story telling, when a drinking man speaks we are to listen.
En vino Vertas: in wine there is truth.
In this tightly scripted morality play the phrase is: In aurum est insani - In gold there is insanity.

This is not a spoiler as an attentive viewer will know the basic story line by 15 minutes into the story. Score one for the execution of an efficient set up of the overall plot. Screen play credits and very well done walk on by John Houston.

Down on their luck but mostly decent working men Humphrey Bogat as Dobbs and Tim Holt as Curtin meet up in Mexico team up with Walter Hoston as Howard. Together they will seek out gold in the most remote hills they can find. How decent are the two working men? Even when deliberately cheated out of just wages, they settle for whipping up on the thieving boss and taking only the money to which they are entitled. Walter Houston , playing the old man who has seen it all and provides nothing but good advice is the man who can make them all rich- Rich beyond the dreams of avarice; except that avarice can dream very big.

This movie is unfairly faulted for it most famous line. It is delivered by a hulking Mexican with poor English. "We d'on need no bad-jes". This line is one that can get a modern speaker into trouble. A more attentive viewer will notice that the Mexicans and other native people of Mexico are portrayed as varied as any randomly selected population. Watch closely and see that there are no abiding stenotypes of any race. People are people and come in all degrees of honesty and morality. At least two young local boys will play critical parts in moving the plot by acting as honest and hardworking people.

Among my personal problems with many movies is a refusal to show that people can get covered in dirt, grow beards and otherwise fail to look freshly groomed, esp after months spent in the wilds. Treasure lets you see that life in the wild tends to roughen ones appearance. Entire film school papers could be written on the themes made real by the different versions of Bogart's face.
Bogart has the range to act all of the personas that are Dobbs. He is not alone in presenting varied and believable acting. Walter Houston is so comfortable with himself and his character it is almost impossible to watch him and be aware that he is acting.
Classic story telling. Bogart. What else needs to be said?

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic tale of greed & human nature featuring Bogey as a badguy (and Tim Holt, too!)

Greed will drive men to do some pretty terrible things. This is such a story. Humphrey Bogart plays against type as Fred C. Dobbs, a drifter existing hand-to-mouth south of the boarder. He meets Bob Curtin, another ex-patriot, (a young & trusting Tim Holt), who's also down on his luck and the two form a friendship. When they encounter a grizzled old prospector who tells them he knows how & where to find gold, the two take a chance and throw in with the old-timer. Heading into the wilderness, the men scour the high desert country. The heat & hard work take their toll however. Just when they're about to give up, they stumble upon a deposit of gold dust. It's a dream come true! Together, they work the claim, initially celebrating their discovery... but as the amount of gold continues to add up, the respect & friendship between the three men erodes just as quickly, until all of them are plotting against each other. This film has earned a reputation as a classic character study, and deservedly so. It's a great story and it's well-told.

The restoration work done on this Blu-ray of THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE helps make it movie look amazingly clear & crisp. There's a nicely done 'Making Of' documentary, along with a TON of other Special Features, that really adds value to this Blu-ray edition. This Blu-ray release of THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE is well worth adding to your collection if you don't already have it, or a heartily recommended upgrade from DVD. Whether playing a good guy or a bad guy, Bogey was one of the all-time best. Grab your shovel and join the search. There's gold in them thar hills! 5 STARS!

Bogart and Walter Huston in a movie directed by John Huston, who could ask for anything more? Excellent support from Tim Holt as a nice guy and Barton MacLane as a sleazy contractor.

それまでの出演作では「クール」で「スマート」な役どころを演じていたのに
この作品では珍しく「汚れ役」を演じているのには驚きました。
当たった宝くじの賞金を元手に「砂金」で一儲けを企む、対照的な三人の男達が
描かれていますが、何といってもハンフリー・ボガートが演じる男の「欲望」や
「懐疑心」が、ストーリーが進むにつれてだんだんと強くなって行き
仲間も殺害しようとする姿は、とてもそれまでのボガートの役柄のイメージから
かけ離れたもので、とても見応えのある映画になっていると思います。

5.0 out of 5 stars Greed is not good!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2013

It's 1925, Tampico, Mexico, Fred C Dobbs is on the bum until he meets and befriends fellow American Bob Curtin. After finding a bit of work with a shifty contractor (and literally having to fight for their hard earned pay), they meet the colourful Howard, an old Klondike prospector who regales the men with stories of gold. After a bit of fortune comes Fred's way, the two men enter into a journey with Howard to mine gold from the Sierra Madre hills, but it's a journey that will not only bring personal pressures, but also interference from outside sources.

A contender for John Huston's greatest film, The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre oozes class from every single frame. Boasting top line performances from Humphrey Bogart (Dobbs), Tim Holt (Curtin) and Walter Huston (Howard), Huston's gloriously humane adaptation of the Berwick Traven novel plays out devilishly as a cautionary tale of greed and its pitfalls. This is a film that most have heard about, the word of mouth reputation is well deserved, so I myself don't feel the need to try and sell the picture to anyone reading. John Huston won golden statues for both Best Director and Best Screenplay (one of the best screenplays of the 40s to my mind), whilst Walter Huston picked up the Best Supporting statue to make it one happy day in the Huston household.

What is of interest to me is that there was not a nomination for Bogart here, quite possibly his Dobbs portrayal is one of his most effective, yet with it being a veer from the norm I can't help thinking that is why it was sadly ignored. It can't have helped that studio bigwigs were vocal in their displeasure at Bogart playing such a morally challenged character, the public reaction at the time as well was less than favourable, but time has proved it to be a great Bogart show in what is firmly, and rightly so, hailed a classic of classics. 10/10
