Curiosidades
Remake of El último refugio (1941) 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.

See the original....

Roy Earle is a professional criminal--one of the toughest and best at his job. When he is unexpectedly released from prison, it is because someone big wanted a big heist and they pulled strings to get him. On his way to the location of his new partners up in the Sierras, he meets a very poor family and befriends them. He also later befriends a cute little dog. Both these acts of kindness are very atypical for such a hardened man and, sadly, BOTH end up causing him nothing but grief in the end.

I am a film purist when it comes to remakes. My opinion has always been that if the original film is great, it shouldn't be remade--remakes are only for films with SERIOUS flaws that can corrected in the remake. So, I am a VERY difficult sell for a film like "I Died a Thousand Times", as it's a remake both of the classic Bogart picture "High Sierra" as well as Joel McCrea's "Colorado Territory"==and both films have a higher IMDb rating as well.

"I Died a Thousand Times" turns out to be an extremely well made film--mostly because it is practically an exact copy of "High Sierra" and because Jack Palance was quite nice in the lead. The only major differences is the wonderful color film stock--it looks great because of the wonderful mountain locations. As for the acting, it's about on par with the original. So, if it offers no real major advantage, why not just see the original--especially since it stars Humphrey Bogart and Ida Lupino and is a classic. This 1955 version could have become a classic--if the story had been original. Good but see the original!
