Reviews
John Huston has rarely been in better form than in this 1948 study of gold fever and worse obsessions among an unlikely trio of prospectors...
There's a quite enjoyable yarn buried under the hollow laughter.
Riveting, downbeat, and surprising, a gripping adventure and one of Hollywood's most resonant morality tales a smart, remorseless story of gold, greed, guns, and guile.
The movie has never really been about gold but about character, and Bogart fearlessly makes Fred C. Dobbs into a pathetic, frightened, selfish man -- so sick we would be tempted to pity him, if he were not so undeserving of pity.
Much of the film's strength comes from director John Huston's pen and attention to detail.
Sierra Madre is one of the most lush black & white films ever shot. You'll never look at a gila monster the same way after seeing it slither across the sand in this film.
...a profound examination of mistrust and avarice, leading to greed, deception, and murder.
