THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (Released to Theaters USA 1948)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì  The Treasure of the Sierra Madre—simple story—has great  acting that accesses the skills of Walter Huston (father of John Huston), Tim Holt, and Humphrey Bogart. This is a sit down and watch film that relies on simple southwestern scenery. Wait for the terrific, unexpected concluding scenes.  Film Poster Courtesy of Wikipedia Storyline  Two men, trying to make a dollar, meet an old timer who dreams of wealth from mining gold and knows where to find it.    Additional Thanks Thank you to Director John Huston for directing effort.
