^^^ I also totally disagree with that reviewer.

Studio head Jack Warner was none too pleased with the initial footage coming up from the Mexico location shooting -- just a trio of unshaven guys sitting around a campfire.
A year later he was taking the bows and accepting praise for his brilliant producing when it began winning awards.

Gold as an addiction--
Howard (Walter Huston): Aah, gold's a devilish sort of thing, anyway. You start out, you tell yourself you'll be satisfied with 25,000 handsome smackers worth of it. So help me, Lord, and cross my heart. Fine resolution. After months of sweatin' yourself dizzy, and growin' short on provisions, and findin' nothin', you finally come down to 15,000, then ten. Finally, you say, "Lord, let me just find $5,000 worth and I'll never ask for anythin' more the rest of my life."
Flophouse Bum : $5,000 is a lot of money.
Howard : Yeah, here in this joint it seems like a lot. But I tell you, if you was to make a real strike, you couldn't be dragged away. Not even the threat of miserable death would keep you from trying to add 10,000 more. Ten, you'd want to get twenty-five; twenty-five you'd want to get fifty; fifty, a hundred. Like roulette. One more turn, you know. Always one more.

Respect for the mountain--
Howard (Walter Huston) : We've wounded this mountain. It's our duty to close her wounds. It's the least we can do to show our gratitude for all the wealth she's given us. If you guys don't want to help me, I'll do it alone.
Curtin (Tim Holt) : You talk about that mountain like it was a real woman.
Dobbs (Bogart) : She's been a lot better to me than any woman I ever knew. Keep your shirt on, old-timer. Sure, I'll help ya.
