Christian K @ckacar Mar 11 An excellent adventure film with great performances, particularly Walter Huston, who deservedly won best supporting actor that year. I can say this very confidently having seen 3 films from 1948.

See more EE D @RT03285035 Nov 2 Though the movie is long and very tedious in a way old movies are this movie teaches us an important lesson- if you found out who's the guy without morals it's better to kill his first before he'll manage to damage you. Fortunately the end is worth the long movie, it's such a good joke! See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 7 Failed in 2 hours and 4 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a great tale of morality; 3 guys set out to find gold and become rich. They do anything in their power to protect it when they find it, even amongst themselves. Greed is a vile thing and even the most thrustworthy of the two admits if he was younger, he might have been tempted by it. Sometimes a challenge along the way becomes an asset, an enemy can become a friend and aid in the mission. The greatest danger always comes from within though. Humphrey Bogart is excellent as Dobbs, jovial when everything goes well, crule and suspicious when he's in a bad mood. Fear drives him more than actual malice though. It's also because of him that he influences the rest of the guys, make them just as suspicious. If a character like Dobbs wasn't there, the party would have made it with less anxiousness. When in the end, all the efforts are futile, those that remain can't help but laugh about the fate of it. They tried and worked so hard for it only to have it blown away. What else can you do? But, along the journey for the one thing, they've found something else. Not the thing they were looking for that would make them rich, but something that will make them richer in life.
