Ah, yes, my two favorite things: ● Films set mostly in one single location. ● Lauren Bacall's face.
sarahJan 4, 202180 Post-war in that every character is dealing with the repression of reconciling with their own trauma. That this sweaty, theatrical Noir utilizes a hurricane storm swirling outside the one-location is a representation of how no one got away from WWII unscathed. Key…
SilentDawnMar 21, 2013Hot dog, what an awesome movie! This is maybe my sixth time watching. The first time I watched Key Largo I thought it was OK, but not great. Not sure what headspace I was in then, because the acting in this is top notch. The underrated Claire Trevor is a standout (she…

Edward G. Robinson stole the show faster than Lauren Bacall could look at Bogie and fall in love with him and THAT'S saying something.
Lara PopNov 12, 2019me every time i watch lauren bacall and humphrey bogart fall in love while pretending to be different people: gee i really hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me
eelyDec 4, 2021Edward G. Robinson shows up about thirty minutes into this movie and steals it out from under everybody else. Not unlike Randal Graves in Clerks. The similarities mostly end there though.

“one racket more or less isn't worth it. but people are.” Key Largo isn’t just a classic noir set in the Florida Keys – it’s a tense, slow-burn chamber piece that blends genre with unusual grace. Part isolation thriller, part morality tale, part hushed romance, John…
Tim FehrenbachAug 18, 2021"You don't like it, do you Rocco, the storm? Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it." Bogey, Bacall and Huston oh my. You know it's gonna be something special if Bogey goes the whole film refusing a drink... This noir potboiler bathed in…
Leighton TrentMay 5, 2025A cool, rain-soaked, hurricane-set chamber piece that feels very much of its time—in a good way. Not my favorite noir, but it’s got some solid tension and a few scenes that really crank up the heat. Bogie and Bacall are more low-key here, but it’s always a treat seeing them…

Metacritic
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).
Dave Kehr
Chicago Reader
Perfectly tense atmosphere and performances, with the sparks flying between Bogart and Bacall.
Ian Nathan
Empire
Key Largo belongs to its villain, through and through.
