The casting for the actor's parts in this film stands out to me. I found the prospector character to be more gentle and less grizzled than I would expect given his occupation. Also, Humphrey Bogart's character is less than heroic, unusual…

I love John Huston's films, and this is another one of my favourites. For one thing it is very well made, with wonderful cinematography and striking locations, and the story which is like a fable on greed and human despair as well as a fun…

If you've ever wondered where the following famous line came from, it is found in this movie: "Badges? We ain't got no badges! We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinking badges!"

John Huston’s bitter adventure tale features Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt and Walter Huston as prospectors in Mexico who find gold, but are frustrated by their own success. The 1948 production has had the staying power of a classic because of…

This film is so well written, its more like a play. The imagery, cutbacks, and angles, together with the music (little) are conventional for its time, but never really interferes with the story. The item I got was scratched and kept…

This is probably blasphemous, but suggest you to lower your expectations. Supporting actors were very good as were some scenes, but Bogie not so much as his character changed on a dime from one extreme to the other. And the plot was often…

Great movie. Classic Bogart.

Outstanding performances by Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt and even Barton MacLane as McCormack (in his third feature film with Bogart that was directed by John Huston). Ironically, though "The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre" is regarded…

Hands down, thee absolutely greatest movie of the '40s! (sorry 'Casablanca', 'Key Largo' and 'It's A Wonderful Life')... Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt, Walter Huston and John Huston are all beyond fantastic in this vintage slice of superior…

Quite the performance by Humfrey Bogart!

A classic Bogart movie from the 1940's of survival, lust, greed and irony. Walter Houston steals the movie from his A-1 acting performance. A MUST SEE if you like a film noir style movie. Action & adventure.

A classic morality play ... beautifully rugged and unforgettable. Probably my favorite Bogart movie. Great story and awesome dialog!

John Huston’s grand morality fable set in the wilds of Mexico has deservedly found a place on almost every critic’s “Greatest Movies” list. It is also purported to be among the favourite films of such notables as Robert Redford, Stanley…

Stupid and simplistic. No performance is believable. The story is hardly believable.

Classic '40s tale of greed, betrayal, and murder. An unconventional western and a serious drama

VERY GOOD film noir western from late 40's - fine drama/adventure involving quartet of gold diggers struggling with/against nature and themselves in Mexico back in 1920's...

This movie made the AFI list of 100 Greatest Films of All Time, and for good reason. It is truly a masterpiece film that you can watch multiple times.

I am not a big Bogart fan, but think this is one of his better characters and acting performances. The movie has a good story line and suspense without being distasteful.

John Huston seems to have carried on in this film where the Yukon poet, Robert Service, left off in his wonderful poetry written during Klondike gold rush period: "I wanted the gold and I sought it; I scrabbled and mucked like a slave. Was…

Madre does an exceptional job exploring morality, values, greed & the powerful allure of having it all at any cost. Another classic film from John Huston & Humphrey Bogart. Huston writes & directs once again & once again we see why he's…

Spectacular Academy Award winning (Best Director, Screenplay) John Huston feature, co-starring his crotchety old man Walter, who very nearly stole the spotlight from headliner Bogie (his dad also won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor,…
