Bogart plays Roy Earl, a strange sort of criminal to whom crime is an unpleasant, but nevertheless necessary, business.

Humphrey Bogart, who plays the suavely sentimental gunman in “High Sierra,” at the Strand, has made an extended study of the habits of gangsters, bank robbers and plain racketeers, for his film characterizations has made some interesting observations about the breed. First of them is that the old theory that all bad guys have “eyes as blue and hard as marbles” is a myth. “Baby Face” Nelson, “Pretty Boy” Floyd, and “Killer Crowley’? were blue eyed but such notables as “Legs” Diamond and Al Capone had brown orbs. Bogart says that the practice of many underworld characters of speaking out of the corner of their mouths is based on the fact that men who have served time in prison get in the habit of conversing that way to keep guards from seeing them talking. A third trait of the real “hard guy” is that when he’s up to business he literally keeps his chin in. Soldiers at attention do that too, but with the gangster the habit is protective.
