Key Largo

Frank McCloud, a World War II veteran, arrives at a hotel on Key Largo, an island off the Florida coast, to visit the father and the widow of a comrade who died in combat. The hotel is run by James Temple, who uses a wheelchair, and his daughter-in-law Nora. Frank finds the place occupied by a group of men who turn out to be gangsters, led by Johnny Rocco, a boss who has been expelled from the United States and now wants to return and resume his criminal operations. A hurricane bears down on the island, cutting the hotel off, and the guests become the gang's prisoners. The storm and the criminals together leave Frank little room to act.

John Huston directed the crime thriller, the third of the twenty-two films he directed in chronological order, following The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and preceding The Asphalt Jungle. He wrote the screenplay with Richard Brooks, and Jerry Wald produced it for Warner Bros. Pictures. Humphrey Bogart plays Frank, Edward G. Robinson plays Johnny Rocco, and Lauren Bacall plays Nora Temple, with Thomas Gomez, Lionel Barrymore and Harry Lewis among the twenty credited cast members.

The film runs 100 minutes. On IMDb it holds 7.7 out of 10 from 47,000 votes, and on TMDB 7.5 out of 10 from 601 votes. A film critics' rating of 8.2 out of 10 from 36 reviews places it above both audience scores.
