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!
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?
The mostly cardboard digipak packaging is also very well put together making me wish all dvds would be packaged in this way as well. This DVD represents great value for money as well as we get excellent bonus features on both discs and the best one of all is the 2 hour-long documentary on the life of John Huston. I enjoyed that documentary almost as much as the movie itself and I also appreciated the Bugs Bunny cartoons and the other documentary on the making of the film as well.
Until perhaps an even better restored version on Blu-Ray comes around, this here is the best version of the film that you can get. I thought this is Bogie's best ever performance and yet he pales in comparison with that of Walter Huston who put in among the best 5 performances that I've ever seen by a male actor. John Huston the director also shows that he's a good actor with his small part at the start of the film. Even the small boy selling lottery tickets was excellent and I can't think of any bad acting at all among any of the cast.
This film fully deserves its top 30 ranking among AFI's Best American Films list. The story of how Bogie's honorable character degenerates because of greed to the horrible lowlife that he became in the end as compared to what became of his companions is a study in great story-telling and great acting. You start out liking Bogie but end up totally hating his guts at the end. If that's not great acting, I don't know what is.
Excellent film, great extras, great value for money, excellent dvd makes this highly recommended!
Updated 20 April 2011:
Amazon won't let me review this separately and so I've added this on. The Blu-Ray version is excellent and is a marked improvement over the dvd. Both the picture quality except for a few frames at the Cody scene and the sound quality are excellent and a vast improvement over the dvd as well. The blu-ray is now the definitive version of this film and I'm astounded at just how much better it is over the dvd version that I've reviewed above.
Blu-ray version is very highly recommended!

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。
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
