It's too bad that one of the greatest films of all time is remembered for a line ("We don't need no stinkin' badges!") that doesn't appear in the film. (It's actually, "We don't need no badges. ...read the complete Treasure of the Sierra Madre movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

A classic adventure tale about greed set in the Mexican wilderness. A good story is infused with too much symbolic pretentiousness, yet the overall effect is absorbing. ...read the complete Treasure of the Sierra Madre movie review at Ozus' World Movie Reviews (Dennis Schwartz)

Dobbs, a down on his luck American looking for...read the complete Treasure of the Sierra Madre, The (1948) review at Cinema Laser (Derek M. Germano)
