Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsNear the end, when the cops are chasing Roy Earle in their cars and motorcycles to the mountains, the following mistakes can be seen:
- As the two motorbike cops approach a bridge, before crossing, one of them comes off his bike, parts of the bike can be seen flying, as indeed does the cop.
- In the next shot, they all are chasing Earle's car as if nothing happened.
- Later, as they approach a slippery bend, a cop again comes off his motorcycle, blocking the chase. Seconds later they are all seen still chasing the villain.
- Crazy creditsOddly, the credits read "Written by W.R. Burnett," implying it's an original script, rather than the correct "Screenplay by W.R. Burnett, based on his novel 'High Sierra.'" Apparently Warner Bros. was trying to pretend it wasn't a remake.

Featured review
Go back to the same place and remake it..literally
This is a literal remake of Bogart's High Sierra. The same roads, towns and even on the same rocks where High Sierra was made. It is scene-for-scene the same movie. It is almost uncanny in that respect. I felt deja vu all the way through.
On the plus side the wide screen production and beautiful color are worthwhile, as is the good acting here which I think is equal to the original but that is a matter of each viewer's taste.
Lon Chaney Jr. is terrific in his role and more than holds his own opposite the usually scene-stealing Palance. Also a plus is a classic brute thug Lee Marvin performance. You also get very young Nick Adams, Dennis Hopper and Perry Lopez doing good work.
Lone Pine, Whitney Portal Road and the Sierras never looked better and they are the main reason you might want to watch this if you are vulnerable to being put off by the striking literal remake nature of this film project.
