Description:

Talks about a 1941 Warner Bros gangster film that launched Humphrey Bogart to stardom. Critics praise "High Sierra" not for its classic Hollywood style, but for its influences on later artists, and the way it reflected changes in American society of 1941.

Synopsis:

High Sierra (1941) is a highly successful Warner Brothers gangster film of special interest to film scholars, and aficionados. It represented a turning point in the nature of gangster film of the 1930s. It was the film that launched Humphrey Bogart to stardom.And it is representative of the concerted efforts of the very b est of Warners' talent of the era. In a period of serious reassessment of the American film, this revised shooting script, never before published, provides valuable primary data for that reassessment.
