Review of Key Largo (1948) by Dave J — 19 Dec 2013

(1948) Key Largo.
CRIME/ DRAMA/ SUSPENSE.
Similar style to 1936 "The Petrified Forest" or 1948 "The Dark Past" or "Desperate Hours" to name a few, when the story centers on gangsters taking hostage over a resort, except in this case it's an inn for sail boaters, and actor Edward G Robinson as leader Rocco along with his cronies were intending to use the resort as a way to escape from the police but cannot because of the terrible storm! Director John Huston's direction is at a fine pace with dilemmas and conflicts ablazing! Real life wife of Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Becall also stars as Nora Temple who helps her father run the family inn!
3.5 out of 4.
