Film 72 "The Treasure of The Sierra Madre" IMDB No. 70

Gold itself ain't good for nothing except making jewelry with and gold teeth.


1948 John Huston
Set in Tampico Mexico in 1925, Humphry Bogart plays Fred C Dobbs who is down on his luck and begging for change to get a meal, he hooks up with Bob Curtin and they get a job building on the promise of good wages. They find out after working for weeks with no money the foreman is known for not paying up. They come accross him in a bar and beat the money out of him. After meeting an old time prospector they decide they are going to invest the money they have and dig for gold.
I loved this film, brilliant acting and story. I had to watch it streamed online because the DVD is not available to rent, I want to own this, a classic if there ever was one.
Just found it on Play for £4 :)
9/10
