Movie Reviews of Key Largo (Keepcase)
Movie Review: Bogie, Bacall & Barrymore, Plus Robinson & Trevor. What A Cast. What A Movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
John Huston's "Key Largo" reunites him with his "Maltese Falcon" star Humphrey Bogart, and he assembles a star cast for this movie as well, in addition to Bogart: Lauren Bacall (Humphrey Bogart's real-life wife, and fresh off their successful pairings in "To Have And Have Not" & "The Big Sleep"), Edward G. Robinson ("Double Indemnity"), Claire Trevor and Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter in the Frank Capra classic "It's A Wonderful Life"). The score was written by the Academy Award winning composer of "Gone With The Win" and the equally stirring "Casablanca," Max Steiner. The writing is clever, and the tension well maintained. I love that these old movies had no graphic violence, no language and no sex. Now-a-days, you have gratuitous sex, language and graphic violence. THIS movie and all the films from the early days of cinema up to the mid 1960's are proof that you do not need sex, language or violence to be clever. Also, all the movies from Walt Disney Pictures are very clean. However, I digress.
This film is engaging from the get-go. Very well done movie. I highly recommend it. Not Rated.
Summary of Key Largo (Keepcase)
A hurricane swells outside, but it's nothing compared to the storm within the hotel at Key Largo. There, sadistic mobster Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson) holes up - and holds at gunpoint hotel owner Nora Temple (Lauren Bacall), her invalid father-in-law (Lionel Barrymore) and ex-GI Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart). McCloud's the one man capable of standing up against the belligerent Rocco. But the postwar world's realities may have taken all the fight out of him. John Huston co-wrote and compellingly directs this film of Maxwell Anderson's 1939 play with a searing Academy Award-winning* performance by Claire Trevor as Rocco's gold-hearted, boozy moll. In Huston's hands, it becomes a powerful, sweltering classic.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
