Review of Key Largo

Key Largo (1948)
9/10
Bogie & Bacall Classic!
14 November 2007
What an awesome film! I just feel so lucky to have seen this little piece of movie history. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were the greatest couple ever, and throughout their career they made 4 movies with each other: To Have And Have not, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage and Key Largo. Personally I have only seen The Big Sleep and Key Largo, and if I have to choose a favorite then it would probably be The Big Sleep, because it has more Noir, which I like, but Key Largo is a great film too! The story is basically that an ex-soldier or something comes to visit the family of a passed away soldier friend in Florida. The widower and the soldier starts having feelings for each other, but then they find out that a gangster sort type boss has taken over the hotel the family owns and that with the help of his "men" they take the family hostage. And all in the middle of this, a horrible storm comes along, causing panic and fear in the sizzling Florida Keys!! The tension and the drama in this film is really something special... It's real! I would recommend this fourtys classic to anyone, knowing that other people will love it as much as I did. So take a little time and go see Key Largo. You won't regret it! I think...
