Certainly interesting to see Bogart in a different role than the one he usually plays. It also would not surprise me in the slightest if the Howard character is from where every old prospector stereotype first originated.Unfortunately, subtlety and not being racist are two qualities this film does not have. The film's big message can be spotted an hour and a half away and is executed with little tact or grace. In addition, the scenes with the "Indians" are absolutely absurd, and are riddled with plot holes of white superiority.
The most entertaining part of this film, other than geeking out over finally seeing the famous "Badges" quote performed, was laughing at how in no way could a script have given a character a more over the top case of paranoia than they did Dobbs.

My first Bogart film was Casablanca and it was years before I had the opportunity to watch other films with him in the starring role. Key Largo and To Have and Have Not were fine, but I longed for a film that resonated with me as well as Casablanca. Finally I watched this one. It's rather incredible how simple the plot is and yet it is executed with perfect efficiency and full effect. Bogart's character is rough and gritty in all the right places and makes for excellent viewing. You look into his eyes and see pure greed, a man reduced to a single base emotion. 5/5 starsrtrench
I totally understand why PT Anderson watched this film constantly during the filming of There Will Be Blood. Greed and ambition can bring out the worst in man.adrieorchids
My goodness, magnificent! To watch Bogart go from one character to the complete opposite is astounding! It really shows how greed can kill a man. Huston did an outstanding job stealing the show.moviebuff_11
Superb film. Bogart is fantastic in it. Should really be his most recognized performance. Huston has an amazing talent for writing and directing and this certainly highlights thatvoltesque
Fantastic depiction of desire, greed, and insecurity. To define the film with a quote, it'd probably be:tigh66
Great film about greed and what is does to a man. Bogart gives a great performance here in an unlikable role, while Walter Huston steals the showkaffy
