Pointless remake of High Sierra, with Jack Palance in Bogie's role. The recently pardoned gangster is paired with amateurs Lee Marvin and Earl Holliman for the robbery of a hotel vault. His attention is diverted by a crippled girl that he falls in love with and pays to have her foot fixed. He eventually learns that she is not for him and falls for moll Shelley Winters. The robbery is flubbed and they go on the lam, with Jack ending up trapped in the mountains. You know there is a problem when a dog unintentionally steals the movie.
