OK, now you got me doing more internet searching...
An interesting fact (source: Wikipedia) is that the book was actually a German novel, written in German, and had the title
Der Schatz der Sierra Madre (presumably
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre in English...)
As side-tracks to threads go, this one is a bit different...
