Review of Key Largo (1948) by Travis H — 11 Jan 2005
[i]Key Largo[/i] is an interesting thriller for its time, as it doesn't take the classic film noir route, but instead lets the psychological effects of a massive hurricane and the main characters being held hostage by a group of gangsters make for an intense ride. It's an ideal cast, but it's John Huston's direction that works to create atmosphere, and the script of Richard Brooks that creates suspense in the minds of all of the characters, that both work together to make the film what it is.
