Key Largo (1948}

Humphrey Bogart
Edward G. Robinson
Lauren Bacall

Frank McCloud travels to a run-down hotel on Key Largo to honor the memory of a friend who died bravely in his unit during WW II. His friend's widow, Nora Temple, and wheelchair bound father, James Temple manage the hotel and receive him warmly, but the three of them soon find themselves virtual prisoners when the hotel is taken over by a mob of gangsters led by Johnny Rocco who hole up there to await the passing of a hurricane. Mr. Temple strongly reviles Rocco but due to his infirmities can only confront him verbally. Having become disillusioned by the violence of war, Frank is reluctant to act, but Rocco's demeaning treatment of his alcoholic moll, Gaye Dawn, and his complicity in the deaths of the Osceola Brothers and a deputy sheriff start to motivate McCloud to overcome his Hamlet-like inaction.

From IMDB:

10/10
One of my favourite films from John Huston

Key Largo is not my favourite of John Huston's work, but it is one of my favourites. The cinematography and production values are lovely, and Max Steiner's score is not only memorable but really adds to the atmosphere. The story is tightly constructed with many memorable moments, the script is simply cracking and Key Largo moves along very nicely as well. Once again, John Huston's direction is wonderful, and the ensemble cast is faultless. Both Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall give sterling performances and show great chemistry, while Lionel Barrymore is a pleasure. But it is Edward G.Robinson who steals the show, he is just outstanding here. So all in all, this is a great film, well worth seeing for the cast and Huston's direction, as well as other things.
