A hurricane swells outside, but it’s nothing compared to the storm within the hotel at Key Largo. There, sadistic mobster Johnny Rocco holes up – and holds at gunpoint hotel owner James Temple, his widowed daughter-in-law Nora, and ex-GI Frank McCloud.
Emphasis is on tension in the telling, and effective use of melodramatic mood has been used to point up the suspense.
★★★★
Although the characters are basically stereotypes, they are lent the gift of life by a superlative cast.
★★★★
Perfeclty tense atmosphere and performances, with the sparks flying between Bogart and Bacall.
★★★★
