Key Largo

Bogart and Bacall, 1948, also stars Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore. Directed by John Huston.

Not as much heat as "To Have and Have Not" but interesting nonetheless.

War vet traveling through Florida stops at hotel owned by the father and sister of a war buddy who never made it back. Complications arise when gangster takes over the off-season hotel just before a hurricane strikes.

Adaptation of the Maxwell Anderson play.

Chemistry between the stars is evident but supporting characters make this one something to watch.

Look for Jay Silverheels ("Tonto") in a bit part.
