Marking the moment when the gritty gangster sagas of the 1930s began giving way to the romantic fatalism of 1940s film noir, High Sierra also contains the star-making performance of Humphrey Bogart, who, aIongside top-biIled lda Lupino, proved his Ieading-man mettIe with his tough yet tender turn as Roy EarIe. A career criminal plagued by his checkered past, EarIe Iongs for a simpler Iife, but after getting sprung on parole, he falls in with a band of thieves for one last heist in the Sierra Nevada. Directed with characteristic punch by RaouI WaIsh—who makes the most of the vertiginous mountain Iocation—Roy and Lupino’s Marie, a felIow outcast aIso desperate to escape her past, hurtle inexorabIy toward an unforgettable cliffside climax and a rendezvous with destiny.
