This film is attributed to the early days of noir movies, and it is also attributed to the end of the 30-40S gangster movies; there is absolutely nothing like the killing of the previous gangster movies - to stand out - earth-shaking, and Roy played by Bogart has reported "the last vote" from the beginning. ” mentality, he started his own journey in the end of all kinds of depression, all kinds of unhappiness and all kinds of hidden dangers; Raoul Walsh first wanted George Raft to play in High Sierra, and RAFT thought that in the end the male protagonist died too badly and he definitely didn’t want to die so badly. So WB recommended the Bogart at hand to Raoul Walsh; it is hard to imagine what George Raft's version of roy will look like... In the film, in order to show the image of the ROY hero late, there is also a unique style in terms of styling, putting Bogart Shaved a hairstyle that looks pretty trendy now
He also specially dyed his temples white.
In this movie, Bogart's performance is still very good, but I think the reason why it is inferior to The Maltese Falcon, just in terms of performance, ROY in HS has too much suppression, suppressing himself is a desire to do The great villain of the good man.
*tips: At the end of HS, there was a mountain car chase scene and a gun battle scene, which was very intense and exciting in the era at that time, and can be seen in many action films in the future; at the end, ROY was shot and rolled down the cliff, and the stuntman was at that time. After repeating several times to shoot the most thrilling effect, director Raoul Walsh said, "Forget it, people will pay 25 cents to come in and see, you are good enough"*
