Roy Earle (Bogart) gets a pardon only to go back to the world of crimes.But tough guy finds two sides of himself when he meets the crippled Velma (Joan Leslie) and Pa (Henry Travers).He falls for the gal and wants to help her walk properly.But there's Marie (Ida Lupino) who falls for him.Raoul Walsh is the director, John Huston and W.R.Burnett the writers of High Sierra (1941).This is a movie that made Humphrey Bogart a star.He does a highly memorable role work as Roy Earle.Ida Lupino shows her talent as Marie.Joan Leslie is another wonderful female in this picture.Henry Travers is fantastic as always.Willie Best and Pard the dog bring some comedy there.There are many scenes to remember in this classic.The final scene leaves you speechless.Movies used to be something else in the olden days.
