As another in our continuing series of movie classics, we present Treasure of the Sierra Madre. This is still in many ways a contemporary film- will still vivid, compact, colorful (despite being in black and white), and intense, with some great acting, by Walter Huston and Humphrey Bogart. It’s certainly set in the past, and it’s made in the heyday of Hollywood genius that is long gone. But because it’s about this old time and about raw black and white issues (often), the film and the filming are really appropriate. It’s beautiful and yet as rugged as it can be- the landscape as well as the beards, all very real. The story is told with visual clarity and the script is sophisticated and believable. In all, under the direction of Legend John Huston, this is a spot on terrific movie not to be missed.
