Curtains for Roy Earle is a fascinating dive into the world of gangster cinema, particularly that golden era at Warner Bros. The doc touches on the gritty yet glamorous vibe of these films, which feel almost like a window into another time. It doesn’t just skim the surface; it delves into Humphrey Bogart’s journey and how he embodied the tough-guy persona that defined an entire genre. The pacing feels relaxed yet engaging, with a mix of behind-the-scenes insights and archival footage that really sets the atmosphere. It's all about that authentic feel of the filmmaking process, the practical effects used back then, and how High Sierra became a pivotal piece in Bogart's career. Definitely a nice exploration for anyone into classic Hollywood.
