KEY LARGO

"Confidently directed, handsomely shot."— The New Yorker

Key Largo poster

 

Claire Trevor won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as the faded, alcoholic torch singer girlfriend of Edward G. Robinson, a gangster holding war vet (Humphrey Bogart) and the father (Lionel Barrymore) and widow (Lauren Bacall) of his wartime buddy hostage in a Florida hotel, with a hurricane about to blow in. The ensuing storm mirrors the escalating tension of the story, which steadily goes from bad to worse for all involved in this finely tuned film noir shot entirely on the Warner Bros. lot in California. Bogart and Bacall’s last film together. 
DIR/SCR John Huston; SCR Richard Brooks, based on the play by Maxwell Anderson; PROD Jerry Wald. US, 1948, b&w, 100 min. NOT RATED
