Currently on home grounds is one of the most nearly perfect films since Edison began having bright ideas. "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" is a story about gold and the effect that it has on three men who search for it. The expedition takes place in the Mexican mountains, where bandits are more common than gold veins, so the tale is as exciting as it is psychologically curious.
Humphrey Bogart and especially Walter Huston have done herculean jobs of acting, but most of the honors belong to Walter's son, John, who wrote the script, and produced and directed the film. "The Treasure" is completely realistic at all times, yet every scene is somehow wonderful and strange.
