High Sierra (Walsh, 1941): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 2.50pm
This 35mm presentation, also screening on 14th and 29th December, is part of the Big Screen Classics season at BFI Southbank. Full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
The 1941 film in which Humphrey Bogart became Humphrey Bogart, under the
guiding hand of Raoul Walsh. It's not the best work of either
artist—John Huston's script talks too much, and Joan Leslie's clubfooted
innocent is pretty hard to take—but it's fascinating to watch the
outlines of Bogart's persona come into focus. With Ida Lupino as the
good bad girl, and the indispensable Arthur Kennedy.
