3.0 out of 5 stars A good 1950's gangster movie, November 24, 1999

This review is from: I Died a Thousand Times [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jack Palance plays one of his typecast movie roles as the quiet loner. The only difference here is that instead of being a cowboy he plays a gangster who despite being a stone cold killer has a soft spot for a naive disabled girl. Shelly Winters plays a trampy gangster chick who falls for Jack and despite his rejections manages to change his heart and feelings for her. A great movie for the gangster movie buff with all the old style clothes and cars this movie is one of my favorites. A modern ganster movie with a similar theme is Harvey Kietel's role in Industry City.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little-Known Unabashed Remake of "High Sierra", October 17, 2009

I saw this movie back when I was a small kid, at the local theater, double featured with "Pete Kelley's Blues" and sadly, I was too little to appreciate just what I was seeing in Both cases. Luckily, however, I own both these great movies on DVD now. They are Both Great Entertaining Films.

But, this review is of "I Died 1,000 Times". A fabulous remake of "High Sierra", which originally starred Humphrey Bogart; this time around with Jack Palance, Shelley Winters, and Lee Marvin. Great flick from the early wide-screen days, with great mountain scenes, and great imaginative use of color for its time. And of course, a story to knock you out! I searched for many many years, asking everyone about "that movie where they shoot the guy, and he slides down over the mountain and lands by his old green car" and NOBODY knew what the hell I was talking about...the closest I ever got to an answer was "Copper Canyon" with Ray Milland....well, I KNEW Ray Milland was not in the movie, but could not remember who it was. Then, many years later, BANG!, I saw The High Sierra with Bogart and I had a Major heart-stopping revelation...here was THE movie, but in B&W, NOT in color, and I KNEW I was not crazy. Flash forward, again, and LaserDiscs are out, and I'm reading my monthly copy of LaserDisc News, and WHAM, again, here's a flick called "I Died 1,000 Times", with a photo THAT I RECOGNIZED from the movie all the way back when I was a Kid! I snapped up a copy at my local dealer when it came out, and YES, this was it. What a Thrill to see Jack Palance working with Shelley Winters and Lee Marvin...Wonderful.


If you've seen this movie, and remember it, you know what I'm talking about when I say it's a TERRIFIC movie. Those who have NOT, must take my word that it IS. One of the BEST from the great genre of 50's Film Noir Classics, only in TechniColor!

The sad news is that it is extremely difficult to find, and also pricey.....but, worth every penny! ~operabruin

Eventually, it will come out on DVD, I hope, but until then Thank God I have my LaserDisc copy of it (I hope my player never dies!). When the DVD comes out you can BET I'll be one of the first in line for a copy of THIS BABY!
