	Endervidualism Agora - Key Largo (1948) - reviewed by Tom Ender
		Key Largo is a story about courage: what it is, who has it, who doesn’t and what good it is. It is about a man who in the recent past has shown a level of bravery in combat that most would call heroism and his subsequent apparent personal rejection of standard definitions of such behavior.

	Key Largo Film Review - Time Out Film
		Reworking of a Maxwell Anderson play about a gangster under threat of deportation who holes up with his henchmen in a semi-derelict hotel on an island off Florida, holding the occupants at gunpoint and remaining blind to the menace posed by a coming hurricane.
		The debt to The Petrified Forest is obvious, but instead of wallowing in world-weary pseudo-philosophy, Key Largo has altogether sharper things to say about post-war disillusionment, corruption in politics, and the fact that the old freebooting ways of the gangster were about to change into something more sinisterly complex.
		And although the characters are basically stereotypes, they are lent the gift of life by a superlative cast: Robinson as the truculent Little Caesar, Bogart as an embittered ex-Army officer, Bacall as the innocent who loves him, and above all Trevor as the gangster's disillusioned, drink-sodden moll.

		Somewhat enigmatically, the text only "Behind the Scenes" Special Feature on the KEY LARGO dvd tells us that director John Huston was so angry with producer Jerry Wald for forcing him to deal with the "delicacies" in Maxwell Anderson's stage play of the same name that he barred him from the set.
		Filmed in fl and white, the tension starts right at the beginning and doesn't let up till it runs its full 101 minutes.
		"Key Largo" is a film starring then-husband & wife Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall; It's directed and co-written by John Huston (who has directed Bogart in some of his most famous roles) and is a true winner.

		If you like your good guys and bad guys in fl and white with effective shades of gray then Key Largo is for you, and there's a lot of star power to boot.
		While the movie is described as a film noir thriller it's not that noir-ish, and while there's plenty of action it isn't as suspenseful as you might expect.

	BBC - Films - review - Key Largo DVD
		Adapted from a stage play, this is an exercise in claustrophobic tension that is far superior to an overrated film like Hitchcock's "Rope" for example.
		Bogart plays a veteran GI who stops at the crumbling hotel run by the family of his buddy who was killed in the war.
		Considering that Warners did a reasonable job with "Casablanca" and outstanding work for "Rebel Without a Cause", this release of "Key Largo" is disappointing.

		If I were a professor instructing the art of film noir and used this disc, it would sure send any student running.
		For those of you who desire to listen to some of this more obscure film music--just as it would sound playing the video on your TV--then this is a great disc to have.
		Given that there are very few Film Noir compilation soundtrack cd's available, I'd say this one works just fine for what it is. It's certainly not the most polished work, but it does have a lot of film scores and no fan should be without it.

		Army veteran Frank McCloud visits the family of an Army buddy who was killed in the war, only to find that their Key West hotel has been taken over by a bunch of exiled gangsters who are orchestrating their own comeback.
		Exciting crime thriller set in the Florida Keys during a late summer hurricane.
