Major Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart), a veteran of the Italian campaign in World War II, arrives at Hotel Largo in Key Largo, Florida in the Florida Keys after the war to visit the family of his friend George Temple (who died in the campaign). There he intended to visit George’s father James Temple (played by Lionel Barrymore) and his widow Nora Temple (played by Lauren Bacall).Complicating matters is the fact that a bunch of mobsters (or five mobsters and one friend) have rented the hotel, six people who claim at first to be there fishing but are really there for criminal activity. One of the six people is Edward G. Robinson’s character Johnny Rocco, a Capone-level notorious gangster who was exiled to Cuba and is trying to make a comeback in the United States. Also complicating matters is the fact that while all these people are in the hotel a hurricane strikes and a sheriff and a deputy keep coming around looking for two escaped prisoners (and running the risk of finding out far worse criminals are in that hotel).There was a lot to like about the film. Great tension and pacing, I liked the exploration of Johnny Rocco’s character, of him trying to recapture the lost glory of his powerful crime lord days during Prohibition, of being in obvious denial that that time has passed, that there isn’t money to be made in alcohol as there once was, that people don’t recognize him as they used to, and that the woman he loved, also at the hotel, is a washed up alcoholic (Gaye Dawn, played by Claire Trevor, in a surprisingly layered role with some strong acting). In fact all the gangsters seem to miss the Prohibition days.I also liked the exploration of Frank McCloud, that his stances on heroics and self-preservation are explored with regards to fighting Johnny Rocco. Does he fight Johnny because Johnny is a dangerous criminal? To save himself? Or to save others? It was interesting to see how Frank watched heroism in others, including from some surprising sources, and how this may have influenced him to act in the rest of the film. You don’t get a lot of Frank talking about his feelings but you see how he acts, how his stance on heroics appears to change as the film progresses, that it was never that he wasn’t a coward, it was more that he just didn’t care at first.There is a subplot with Native Americans that I found interesting. Mostly it is there to have a reason for the sheriff and deputy to be nosing around the hotel a lot, but there is some social commentary as well, subtle though in one brief scene at the end a bit more overt. It’s blink and you will miss it but it is there.Except for a few shots very early on the film is obviously on a soundstage. It isn’t bad but you can tell that isn’t the sea and they aren’t at the beach. Not distracting or anything, it was how things were done back then, but I wish they had filmed somewhere on location. Once the film is inside the hotel (which the bulk of the movie is) this is for me at least completely forgotten. One can also nitpick a little on the depiction of the hurricane but I think it was depicted in a way that served the plot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A nice capstone to one of cinema's immortal couples *by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 30, 2022* And with this, I have finished the last of the Bogart-Bacall pairings. While it might not be at quite the level of the other three, or of John Huston's The Maltese Falcon, it is a very good film in its own right. Its two main stars take a bit of a backseat than before as this is more of an ensemble piece. To me, Edward G. Robinson really stood out in his role as a has-been gangster looking to make a comeback. Beyond that, everything was impeccable on a technical level, and Max Steiner's score contributed a lot to the atmosphere of foreboding. I've also lived through multiple Florida hurricane seasons and believe me, they're no joke. There also seemed to be an underpinning of sociopolitical commentary, but I can always suss that out when I watch it again. Overall, this put a nice bow on one of cinema's great partnerships. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/96906862-key-largo-1948](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/96906862-key-largo-1948) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
