High Sierra (1941) is considered by most to be Humphrey Bogart’s first steady, breakout role, playing a share that wasn’t initially offered to him. Bogart, the fifth member of Warner Brothers distinguished ‘Murderers Row’, came into the role of Roy ‘Mad Dog’ Earle only after fellow ‘Row’ members Paul Muni and George Raft didn’t catch the fragment, one disagreeing on the script and subsequent changes, and the other being talked out of taking the fragment by Bogart, respectively. Bogart, who hadn’t quite reached the level of tall name star by this point, as evident to second billing to costar Ida Lupino, wanted the role badly, as he knew the character of Earle was something he could really sink his teeth into, and showcase his talent to the world.

As I said, Bogart plays Roy ‘Mad Dog’ Earle, a convicted bank robber serving a lengthy prison term, a life sentence, if I’m not wrong, who has impartial been released. We soon catch that Roy’s early release isn’t due to parole for kindly behavior, but strings pulled by his faded boss, Great Mac (Donald MacBride) . Seems Gargantuan Mac has a gain in California that he wants Roy in on, so Roy leaves the Midwest to acquire the connection. Along the design, Roy has a chance meeting with Pa Goodhue (Henry Travers), a farmer who lost his farm, and is now traveling west with his wife and his clubfooted granddaughter Velma (Joan Leslie), who we will discover again later. On reaching the Sierra mountains, Roy meets with the other members of the criminal enterprise Enormous Mac has arranged, two younger, hot-tempered men, Babe and Red, who have a have a female companion, Marie, played by Ida Lupino. Roy objects to having a woman around, as it’s fair an unnecessary complication. Marie manages to salvage Roy to change his mind, as she despises the plan of having to return to her previous career of dancing in a two-bit hall with men for a quarter a dance. Soon Roy learns of the earn, and things seem easy enough, but even the simplest plans can go awry.
Directed by actor/writer/director/producer Raoul Walsh, High Sierra is a rich, tense noir crime drama based on a recent by W.R. Burnett and adapted for the conceal by Burnett and legendary director/actor/writer/producer John Huston. Bogart really adds depth to his character of Roy, presenting the duality of a seemingly cold-blooded killer who has a soft side. That certainly doesn’t mean he’s soft, especially when someone gets in the plan of his plans. Presented is a character who knows his time is past, and is looking to perform his design out, and having thoughts of a future that will never be…and then settling for less than he hoped for, not realizing that maybe that was even too noteworthy to hope for…the supporting cast was amazing, but I found the sort of pseudo silly relief of the character Algernon, a shadowy worker at the fishing camp Roy and his tiny gang hole up before the bag, played by Willie Best, a bit awkward. At the time, it was probably more acceptable, but the stereotyping may chaff contemporary audiences. A minor point, but one I hope wouldn’t sour potential viewers from seeking out this film. I honest try to understand it for what it was and is, a get of ignorance that has, hopefully, long since past. Best to retort it happened and depart on. What I found really arresting was how the noir understanding was flawlessly transplanted from shadowy city streets to the majestic Sierra mountains on the Neveda /California border. Another thing I really loved was the rapidly exchanges and consume of gangster colloquialisms. The dialogue zings along, unbiased adding a staunch element of fun to the movie, despite the drama nature of the material.

The relate quality here is delicate, and the audio sounds improbable. I was also elated to peruse an beneficial featurette called “Curtains for Roy Earle”, which talks about how Bogart got the role in the movie, his minor skirmish with the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), and the film in general. Also included is a theatrical trailer for the film. If you’re a fan of Humphrey Bogart, High Sierra is a must behold film. If you like well-behaved movies in general, you won’t be disappointed here. While the role of Roy `Mad Dog’ Earle may not be the one most remember Bogart for, it certainly confirmed his region as an actor in every sense of the word, and served well to showcase his talent and made him a star. Another film soon to follow, The Maltese Falcon (1941) took the star and made him a myth.

This film in many ways is the culmination of the Golden Age of the gangster film. At the same time it is the correct beginning of Humphrey Bogart’s star career. After a string of gangster films in the thirties, all demonstrating graphically that crime really didn’t pay, we catch this gargantuan film, in which it not only doesn’t pay, but doesn’t lead to happiness, either. Unlike most of the big gangster characters of the 1930s, Roy “Inflamed Dog” Earle has an atypical degree of complexity and depth. He is tired of his life, and would like to very distinguished live a different one. He meets two women, one who is a product of the kind of life he would like to sprint, and another, who is young, innocent, radiant, and a symbol of everything he would worship to rediscover. Considerable of the movie’s power and poignancy derives from these dual relationships, as he realizes the life he would like to have is denied him, while at the same time not valuing the appreciate of a woman who doesn’t picture a modern arrangement of life, but who nonetheless truly and genuinely cares for him. It ends a tragic cherish triangle.

The movie features a host of honorable actors from Warner Brothers stable of contract players. The always-underrated Ida Lupino (who was also an accomplished director of “B” pictures) excells as Marie Garson, while 16-year-old Joan Leslie is perfect as the young, innocent girl Roy Earle wants to benefit. The rest of the cast is filled by such marvelous character talents as Henry Travers, Arthur Kennedy, Jerome Cowan, Henry Hull, Barton MacLane, and a very young Cornel Wilde.
The other thing that really makes this film stand out is the powerful on place scenes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Almost all gangster films of the thirties were shot entirely on movie sets, and very, very few were shot outdoors. In this one, numerous scenes were shot in various locations in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and elsewhere, and this lends an atmosphere new to the era. Also, setting it in California rather than Unusual York or Chicago enhances the account. The final, climatic scenes with Bogart trying to speed from the police by heading into the mountains is a classic.
Bogart went on to obtain more gangster films in his career, most notably THE DESPERATE HOURS, but in many ways this film signaled the destroy of the Golden Age of the genre. Although up to this point his career had primarily consisted of portraying gangsers, henceforward he would more often be associated with detectives or men of action. A mountainous film in every arrangement.
