Curiosidades
Remake of El último refugio (1940) with Jack Palance playing the Humphrey Bogart role of Roy Earle.

Pifias
Near 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.

Citas
Big Mac: [Pouring a drink] It's like the doc says... if i don't lay off this stuff, it's gonna knock ME off, but I'm gonna die anyway.
[laughs]
Big Mac: So are you.
[Distainfully]
Big Mac: So what? Nobody ever left this world alive.
[Holding up his glass]
Big Mac: To you, Roy!

Créditos adicionales
Oddly, 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.

I Died a Thousand Times (1955)

Going into this, I didn't know it was a remake, but within 10 minutes it was clear. Almost exactly a beat-for-beat remake of HIGH SIERRA. It's in color and widescreen, not that that adds much... the original film didn't have great cinematography, but the more claustrophobic frame gave it a little extra tension. Also, they swapped out a black stereotype for a Mexican stereotype. I guess that's supposed to be progress. Other than that, it really is practically identical to the original. The major difference, of course, is casting. I like Jack Palance, but he doesn't have the world-weariness or charm of Bogart. Likewise, I'm very fond of Shelley Winters, but what she does best is playing pathetic, and this character can't be pathetic. You just end up wanting Palance to ditch her. I don't want to be too harsh on this film, though. It's just that I felt like I'd already seen it (twice, even) and the update doesn't do any real updating. A competent but pointless endeavor, stick with Bogart and Lupino.
