Review of Key Largo (1948) by Adam R — 26 Nov 2016
Based on a play, the film feels stage-like as it's filmed almost entirely at a hotel the Humphrey Bogart character visits to meet the wdow and father of a slain army buddy.
Bogart finds the hotel has been overrun by a small band of gansters lead by Edward G. Robinson.
The film becomes a morality tale of good versus bad and heroism versus cowardice.
For lovers of films of from era they will not be disappointed. And, if you're a Lauren Bacall fan, like I am, you will enjoy seeing her in an unglamorous role.
