High Sierra is a fine film, its only real story's a love story though, formed through persistence.
The love of Marie and the love of Pard, who keep forcing themselves into Roy's life. All the other stuff's pretty uneventful and lackluster. Roy's goons losing control of the car, while not being chased, catching fire utterly ridiculous. I liked that Velma didn't want to be with Roy, she wasn't very nice about it, but people aren't always nice. Nearly every Bogart film, women are throwing themselves at him, it was good to see at least one turn him down, even though he still got the better deal. Ida Lupino very alluring. People sure do love Humphrey Bogart, "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" I think his best work from what I have seen, probably mostly due to believing him in that role and not the role of a gangster or a detective, but this would be among his better performances. In all seriousness though, Pard stole the show.
