Review

i thought i had seen this film before, but as it turns out i’d seen another bogart film with “sierra” in the title that ends with money blowing away. hmph. high sierra was the movie i was thinking of. as i was watching the movie i was blown away by how utterly bad my memory has grown – i didn’t remember any of the scenes in the film and began to worry. luckily the film swept me up and i forgot about my forgetfulness until the end. when the end came and it was different than the one i remembered from high sierra i was vindicated. so that’s my story about the treasure of the sierra madre and i think it’s more interesting than me rehashing old cliches about the great acting and story telling of this fine film. it’s been said better before so i won’t try.
