High Sierra - The Criterion Collection (US Import)

Zavvi

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.
