The Treasure of the Sierra Madre - Special Edition 2 Disc Set

“ Humphry Bogart plays Fred C. Dobbs, one of the movie characters everybody can name. In 1925 in Tampico, he meets another drifter from America, Bob Curtin (Tim Holt). Both have been cheated out of hard-earned wages by a dishonest employer named McCormick, and when they corner him in a bar, they beat him so savagely that it seems pointless to hang around town. Their next move is suggested by the old-timer Howard (Walter Huston), who they've overheard talking about gold. They think he's good for advice and not much more, but he has the stamina of a goat and is soon filling their ears with practical advice about how to find gold, which is not too hard, and how to keep it and not get killed, which is not too easy.”-Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. Also starring Bruce Bennitt, Barton MacLane and Alfonso Bedoya.

Selected for the Library of Congress' National Film Registry of American Film.
