Product Description
Marking the moment when the gritty gangster sagas of the 1930s began giving way to the romantic fatalism of 1940s film noir, High Sierra also contains the star-making performance of Humphrey Bogart, who, alongside top-billed Ida Lupino, proved his leading-man mettle with his tough yet tender turn as Roy Earle. A career criminal plagued by his checkered past, Earle longs 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 Raoul Walsh-who makes the most of the vertiginous mountain location-Roy and Lupino's Marie, a fellow outcast also desperate to escape her past, hurtle inexorably toward an unforgettable cliffside climax and a rendezvous with destiny.New, restored 4K digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-rayColorado Territory, director Raoul Walsh's 1949 western remake of High SierraNew conversation on Walsh between film programmer Dave Kehr and critic Farran Smith NehmeThe True Adventures of Raoul Walsh, a 2019 documentary by Marilyn Ann MossCurtains for Roy Earle, a 2003 featurette on the making of High SierraBogart: Here's Looking at You, Kid, a 1997 documentary aired on The South Bank ShowNew interview with film and media historian Miriam J.
