KEY LARGO (1948) - May 21, 2004
Another really good movie directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart, though not as good as the Treasure of the Sierra Madre. About a bunch of people who get stuck in a hotel during a hurricane, including a group of criminals led by Edward G. Robinson. Humphrey Bogart gives another excellent performance. In fact the performances were good all around. Lionel Barrymore was good in a non-evil role, which was a little jarring after having only seen him in It's a Wonderful Life. The movie was quite talky (it was based on a play), but the dialogue never seems overly theatrical, as is sometimes the case with older films. ***1/2
