Plot
Two desperate Americans searching for work in a Mexican town hook up with an old prospector and start to mine for gold in the Sierra Madre Mountains.
Review
Humphrey Bogart is an incredibly versatile performer, giving us the full paranoid, desperate man with a huge chip on his shoulder. Walter Huston is also in fine form. For me, the story seems to drift a little about half way through and the whole film could have been much better paced and made a bit shorter. But you can't argue with 3 Academy Awards.
Interesting Additional Information
Humphrey Bogart wore a wig throughout the entire film.
Walter Huston didn't wear his false teeth throughout the entire film.
Cost £3 million dollars to make.
