Editorial Review:
John Huston (The Maltese Falcon) directed this smart thriller about a gangster (Edward G. Robinson) who holds a number of people hostage in a hotel in the Florida Keys during a tropical storm. Humphrey Bogart is the returning war veteran who takes on the villains, and Lauren Bacall is on hand as one of the people on the wrong end of Robinson's gun. Somewhat similar in tone to Howard Hawks's To Have and Have Not (which also featured Bogart and Bacall), this moody movie captures a certain despair offset by the bond between individuals united by common purpose. Claire Trevor won an Academy Award for her part as Robinson's alcoholic girlfriend. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - "When your head says one thing and your whole life says another, your head always loses."
Aaaahhh ... Bogey. AFI's No. 1 film star of the 20th century. Hollywood's original noir anti-hero, epitome of the handsome, cynical and oh-so lonesome wolf; looking unbeatably cool in his fedora, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth. Endowed with a legendary aura several times larger than his real life stature, and still admired by scores of women wishing they had been born 50+ years earlier, preferably somewhere in California and to parents connected with the movie business, so as ...

Rating:  - HEMINGWAY, THERE'S BEEN A DELAY
Imagine Hollywood fielding a team of Oscar winners like L.Barrymore, Bogart, Trevor, director Huston, along with Bacall, and E.G.Robinson today! And you think the Yankees have payroll problems? Bogart pays a visit to Key Largo to visit the father of one of his best WW2 soldiers, only to discover that former mob leader (Robinson) and his men have taken over Barrymore's Hotel. With a hurricane approaching, Bogart senses correctly that Robinson is fearful and vulnerable without a gun. Bogie intentionally ... Read More

Rating: - Edward G. Robinson Overpowers
"Key Largo" was made in 1948, during the height of the studio system, and when Warner Bros. ruled the roost. Humphrey Bogrart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore, Claire Trevor, Thomas Gomez; they don't make casts like *that* anymore.
Although Bogart and Bacall have top billing, the movie really revolves around Robinson's character, syndicate kingpin Johnny Rocco, who's taken over a sleepy family-run hotel on the Florida coral reef Key Largo (hence the movie's title).
