The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Two-Disc Special Edition) Reviews
Very good movie
The movie was terrific, and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars, was because there was quite a bit of Spanish in the film, and the subtites from Spanish to English didn't seem to work on my copy. English subtitles appeared for Engliish, and Spanish subtitles appeared when they spoke Spanish! Strange. Fortunately I know some Spanish, so i could sort of pick it up, but I don't know why the sub titles didn't work. Anyway, Bogie was very good and the story was too. Three men set out to find gold, and naturally greed and suspicion overtake one of them complicating the whole journey. Besides all that were the usual bandits and Indians and so forth. But it kept you watching and that's what really counts. Won't tell you if they got any gold!
Way ahead of its time, this is one heck of a Huston double-punch!
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948) I'm not a huge fan of Humphrey Bogart's work, except for this classic John Huston production which won Oscars for both John and his dad Walter Huston as the grizzled and wise old prospector, Howard. Former cowboy star Tim Holt provides solid support for both men. Notable for Huston's use of Mexican actors, who speak (and carry) the film in their own language with no subtitles whatsoever. A true rarity for its age and a film way ahead of its time.
