Details

• Release Year: 1948
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Film-Noir, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: A hurricane swells outside, but it's nothing compared to the storm within the hotel at 'Key Largo'. ; ; ; There, sadistic mobster Jonny 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.
