Review of High Sierra (1941) by Dave H — 11 Nov 2013
This gets three stars because it is Bogie and Lupino but this isn't my favourite of Bogart's movies. It is overwrought and the acting by the supporting characters uneven (with the exception of the wonderful "Clarence" from Its a Wonderful Life).
Bogie plays an antihero with a human side. This movie just doesn't have the dramatic heft of so many other Bogart pictures. I'd watch Maltese Falcon instead, which was released the same year as High Sierra.
