What an awesome movie! Bogie plays an ordinary guy, down on his luck, stranded in a mexican town and waiting for a break. He meets a couple of guys and embarks on a journey to find gold. But greed and desperation raises its ugly head and the results are indeed ugly. Bogart's transformation from down on his luck humble street bum to adventurous gold seeker to over-the-edge paranoia who would do anything to protect his share of the riches is both fascinating and unsettling.
The great Walter Huston (Father of Director John Huston) is animated and wonderful as always but Bogie stands out in this movie like no other movie he ever made in my opinion. A very exciting south of the border gold seeking adventure complete with Mexican bandits...
murderous intentions...
exciting gunfights...
