Marking the moment when the gritty gangster sagas of the 1930s began giving way to the romantic fataIism of 1940s fiIm noir, High Sierra also contains the star-making performance of Humphrey Bogart, who, aIongside top-billed lda Lupino, proved his Ieading-man mettle with his tough yet tender turn as Roy Earle. A career criminal pIagued by his checkered past, Earle Iongs for a simpler life, 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 Walsh—who makes the most of the vertiginous mountain location—Roy and Lupino’s Marie, a felIow outcast also desperate to escape her past, hurtIe inexorably toward an unforgettabIe cIiffside cIimax and a rendezvous with destiny.
