Enjoyed seeing him even in this low-buget film. I'll never forget him as "Curtin" in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre".

I thought Tim Holt gave a fine and engaging performance as the stern, but amiable John "Twill" Twillinger; he brought just the right winning blend of toughness and niceness to the role.

300 bios and counting.

I thought it was funny how tough and all business-like he came across until he interacted with Sandy. He really was good.

Uh-Oh! Did someone just inherit the wind? Odor in the court! Odor in the court!

I didn't even realize it was the guy from "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" until I checked the credits here on IMDB.

His performance was very good, but Holt was quite overweight.

I thought he must have been down on his luck to make a B sci-fi picture, but his bio says he was wealthy and came out of retirement to do it.

He and co-star Hans Conreid both starred in the anti-Nazi film "Hitler's Madmen" back in the mid-1940s.

A correction: the film was called "Hitler's Children." My mistake.

I didn't recognize him either. He looked so boyish in his earlier roles.

He was good in "My Darling Clementine" as one of the Earp brothers.

He will always be Curtin.

Treasure of the Sierra Madre
My Darling Clementine
The Monster That Challenged the World

One of these films is not like the others.
