A little windy and rhetorical for my taste, but still one of John Huston’s best efforts (1948), a melodrama of ethics that soundly represses the Maxwell Anderson play it was based on (the ending is actually a lift from To Have and Have Not).

Perfectly tense atmosphere and performances, with the sparks flying between Bogart and Bacall.

Key Largo belongs to its villain, through and through.
