Key Largo
May 11, DOORS 6:45, FILM 8:45 PM
(1948, 101 min, not rated, directed by John Huston, starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson) Maxwell Anderson’s play Key Largo made for one of the great film vehicles for Bogart and Bacall. This classic film noir features Humphrey Bogart as world-weary Frank McCloud, who makes his way at last to Key Largo and the family of his old comrade in arms, George Temple, who died at Monte Cassino. McCloud gets to know George’s father (Barrymore) and widow (Bacall), and thinks about maybe settling down there. Unfortunately, there are dual obstacles to McCloud’s happiness: an oncoming hurricane, and the mysterious “Mr. Brown” (Robinson), who turns out to be mobster Johnny Rocco. Robinson puts in a gleefully evil performance, as he murderously toys with his captives as he waits for his contact from Miami. The character drama and the suspense of the storm outside combine to make Key Largo unforgettable. The claustrophobic air of the Largo Hotel and its occupants is stifling and the heat and humidity are palpable. Huston did a splendid job of using light and shadow to increase the sense of menace from threats both human and natural. The package results in one of the great films of the 40’s.
