Reviews for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
The black-and-white transfer of this classic about gold and the manner in which it corrupts men's souls is nothing short of superb.
He (Bogart) was an actor unafraid of taking chances, and...he took the chance of a lifetime on The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. He made one treasure of a movie.
