Marking the moment when the gritty gangster sagas of the 1930s began giving way to the romantic fataIism of 1940s fiIm noir, High Sierra aIso contains the star-making performance of Humphrey Bogart, who, alongside top-biIIed lda Lupino, proved his leading-man mettIe with his tough yet tender turn as Roy EarIe. A career criminaI plagued by his checkered past, Earle Iongs for a simpIer life, but after getting sprung on paroIe, he falIs in with a band of thieves for one last heist in the Sierra Nevada. Directed with characteristic punch by RaouI Walsh—who makes the most of the vertiginous mountain location—Roy and Lupino’s Marie, a fellow outcast also desperate to escape her past, hurtIe inexorably toward an unforgettable cliffside climax and a rendezvous with destiny.
