I love "To Have And Have Not" and "Dark Passage" and "The Big Sleep" is okay but this Bogart and Bacall movie was a disappointment. It just didn't live up to its reputation......or I just expected more of an action-crime... Full review

Basically this film is almost like a play. The whole story is more or less (apart from the ending) shot in a rustic Florida hotel. A great location and setting, a real credit to John Huston.In short, Frank McCloud (Bogart)... Full review

Key Largo is just one of John Huston's many memorable films that somehow always seem to transcend the intention--the Hollywood intention being to make a few bucks--and to this day still plays very well and indeed appears as something close... Full review

While chiefly remembered as a Bogart/Bacall vehicle, this story of expatriate gangsters commandeering a sleepy tropical hotel is, in actuality, a tightly directed ensemble piece with acting chops to burn.There's Edward G. Robinson as Johnny Rocco--the brash, boisterous, sleazy gangster... Full review

KEY LARGO delivers a sharp, well-defined image, with solid blacks and very good contrast. KEY LARGO has been given a very good black and white transfer that correctly frames the film at 1.33:1. ... Full Review

By today's standards, Key Largo now comes across far too theatrically to work well, but it's still worth watching for the atmosphere, the acting icons, and the occasionally witty dialogue. Huston inserts a bit of social consciousness with the mistreatment of the Indians, but these scenes play much better visually than when Silverheels lets loose with his stereotypical dialogue. ...

Humphrey Bogart's Frank McCloud is a variation on his most familiar persona, the disillusioned, cynical ex-soldier confronted with a crisis that puts his me-first ethic to the test. Not that aging gangster Johnny Rocco (a bravura Edward G. Robinson in a memorable turn on his own best-known role) is really a worthy adversary for the canny McCloud. ... Full Review

In a film of outstanding performances--Claire Trevor won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress--Edward G. Robinson deserves special praise.....McCloud arrives to find the hotel full of seedy, threatening characters..... ... Full Review

Posted Jul 30, 2009 @ 07:28 PM Released six years after "Casablanca," 1948's "Key Largo" isn't quite on the level of that cinema classic. It does have Humphrey Bogart playing a guy in an out-of-the-way location who just doesn't want... ... Full Article
