Review of High Sierra (1941) by Bobby D — 09 Oct 2011
Watching WB flims from thier Golden studio age almost everything is perfect. Bogart takes the gangster role and just delivers an A++++ performance. Lupino gives real believablity to the gangster girlfriend role.
Downsides are minor, some rear screen production values don't hold up but the action was really good when the cars got rolling. Director Walsh working closely with the author had some interesting mnior social commentaries still relevant today.
The media circus during the manhunt, everyone losing thier farms or homes to the banks, and the old adage of never judging a book by it's cover as Bogart's character falls in love with a woman he thinks is "pure.
".
