Just finished watching "High Sierra" released by Warner Brothers.
"High Sierra" is a classic of the film noir that embraces the romantic fatalism of a career criminal released early from prison by a pardon from the governor who is recruited by a dying head of a criminal organization to pull one last big heist as a way to go out in a blaze of glory.
Only Roy Earle, the career criminal brilliantly portrayed with quiet dignity and humanity by Humphrey Bogart, who wants the carefree promise of his youth back, but who is a realist who is willing to do what ever it takes to succeed, but who's hopes get crushed at every corner for the life he wants.
Simply spellbinding and engrossing with Bogart's masterful performance.
Highly Recommended!
Ten Stars!
