Key Largo [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

Richard Brooks and John Huston’s screenplay for Huston’s Key Largo eschews the lofty blank verse of Maxwell Anderson’s original play, concentrating instead on the simmering tensions among the many characters. Humphrey Bogart plays Frank McCloud, an embittered war veteran who travels to Key Largo in Florida, there to meet Nora Temple (Lauren Bacall), the wife of his deceased war buddy. Arriving at a tumbledown hotel managed by Nora’s father-in-law James Temple (Lionel Barrymore), McCloud discovers that the establishment has been taken over by exiled gangster Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson)

Emphasis is on tension in the telling, and effective use of melodramatic mood has been used to point up the suspense. by Variety Staff

This is surprisingly staid for a Huston film. Still, the top-notch cast punches it across, and the swirling storm raging outside the hotel provides an interesting backdrop. by Matt Brunson

Claire Trevor won a Supporting Oscar for playing the alcoholic mistress of Edward G. Robinson’s gangster in John Huston’s taut crimer starring Bogart. by Emanuel Levy
