Day 540

It’s been so hot and it doesn’t look like it’s going to cool down soon, so I’ve decided to take a break from my morning walk until it does cool down and become more bearable.

As well as doing yesterday's and today's G2 Crossword:

…I watched ‘The Treasure of the Sierra Madre’. 

The story is about three Americans (played by Humphrey Bogart, Tim Holt and Walter Huston) who are scrapping a living in Mexico town, but when they come into a little money decide to try gold prospecting. As well as finding gold they find hard work, temptation, dis-trust, madness and betrayal. As you’d expected the ‘The Treasure…’ is well written, shot and acted and it does a great job of getting over the heat of Mexico and how dirty and sweaty the characters lives are. And it’s where the phrase "We don't need no stinking badges!" comes from (although it is a misquote and the actual line is "Badges? We ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges! I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!")
