Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (BD)

Just what I ordered

The movie holds up even without graphic violence. Bogart at his best at being the worst.

This movie has been a favorite for over 50 yrs. It is a gift to my brother. One of John Huston's greatest films.

Watched it for the first time with another family member, who truly enjoyed it too.

Greed will drive men to do some pretty terrible things. This is such a story. Humphrey Bogart plays against type as Fred C. Dobbs, a drifter existing hand-to-mouth south of the boarder. He meets Bob Curtin, another ex-patriot, (a young & trusting Tim Holt), who's also down on his luck and the two form a friendship. When they encounter a grizzled old prospector who tells them he knows how & where to find gold, the two take a chance and throw in with the old-timer. Heading into the wilderness, the men scour the high desert country. The heat & hard work take their toll however. Just when they're about to give up, they stumble upon a deposit of gold dust. It's a dream come true! Together, they work the claim, initially celebrating their discovery... but as the amount of gold continues to add up, the respect & friendship between the three men erodes just as quickly, until all of them are plotting against each other. This film has earned a reputation as a classic character study, and deservedly so. It's a great story and it's well-told.The restoration work done on this Blu-ray of THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE helps make it movie look amazingly clear & crisp. There's a nicely done 'Making Of' documentary, along with a TON of other Special Features, that really adds value to this Blu-ray edition. This Blu-ray release of THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE is well worth adding to your collection if you don't already have it, or a heartily recommended upgrade from DVD. Whether playing a good guy or a bad guy, Bogey was one of the all-time best. Grab your shovel and join the search. There's gold in them thar hills! 5 STARS!

High quality copy. Would recommend!

Bottom Line first: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?

Bogart and Walter Huston in a movie directed by John Huston, who could ask for anything more? Excellent support from Tim Holt as a nice guy and Barton MacLane as a sleazy contractor.

Bogart är Bogart! Bra film. Antigen gillar man honom eller inte.

Really like this film very much. One of the best films with Humphrey Bogart.

J'ai bien reçu a temps le DVD blue-ray, je l'ai visionné, il est en excellent état, rien à redire, encore merci!
