Been watching The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I have not watched it in its entirety in possibly 50 years. It is a great movie, better than I remembered, with a renowned cast and beautiful location photography, including the street scenes in Tampico. It is a good enough Bogart vehicle, but Walter Huston’s Howard is one of the all time great movie characters. “B” western regular Tim Holt is great too as the conflicted but stalwartly sane half of the Bogie-Holt partner duo, something that only becomes apparent as the plot progresses. Alfonso Bedoya achieved legendary status as bandit leader “Gold Hat,” Mr. “Stinking Badges” himself. Really great way to spend an afternoon. It is very much in the high adventure tradition, but with a warning that high adventure can, and regularly does, go dreadfully wrong.
