Russ Palance CAN act, but still, he's no Bogey. As for Miss Winters, she's younger and a bit slimmer here than 17 years later in "The Poseidon Adventure," but the acting's still hammy. The only real honors for this film belong to our canine star and his handlers. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Aldo G This re-make proves that redoing an excellent film isn't a bad idea. How many times have you wondered how a different actor would have treated a popular role or a another director's vision for a film you like. That's what happens here and it's worth the time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review j f A colorized, flashier and less good (in nearly every way), passable remake of High Sierra. Check original first. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review deke p 1955. PALANCE. I've seen it maybe a time or 2 on TV. SHELLEY WINTERS did her best ... to ruin it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member In this remake of High Sierra, Jack Palance stars as over-the-hill gangster Mad Dog Earle, who plans one final heist before giving up his life of crime.During the 1950s California aging bank robber Roy "Mad Dog" Earle is pardoned after 8 years in prison.Once out of prison, Roy,at the request of his crime boss "Big Mac",decides to pull one more heist before retiring.His target is a fancy mountain resort hotel where employee Louis Mendoza is Roy's "inside man".Roy Earle's team of robbers include hotheaded Babe,Red and dance-hall girl Marie.Marie falls for Roy but he only thinks of innocent young girl Velma whom he recently met.Velma has a slight foot handicap and smitten Roy plans to pay for her foot surgery with his share of the loot.Unfortunately,the robbery doesn't go as planned. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I went into this one rather blind, in that I was expecting a B & W film and got one in color, and I had no idea it was a re-make of an older Humphrey Bogart film. I have to say that I enjoyed it for what it was, with Palance playing a consummate tough guy, and I would like to revisit it after seeing the original. Well worth a look.
