    Look below for Bogie & Bacall themed gifts!
    In Maxwell Anderson's hit stage play, KEY LARGO, John Huston directs an all star cast headed by Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson in a dark film noir set in the Florida Keys during a hurricane. Rounding out the cast are Lauren Bacall in her last film with Bogie, Lionel Barrymore, Thomas Gomez and Claire Trevor in an Oscar winning role as Robinson's drunken moll. Shot in beautiful black & white with an atmospheric score by veteran Max Steiner and under Huston's typical fast paced and crisp direction, it's a suspense filled drama that's not to be missed.

    Dear Steve, When I look at this film I honestly wonder how you could assemble a cast of such quality today. Please don't imagine I'm denigrating today's actors - it's just that here you are reminded of the best of the best. Claire Trevor absolutely deserved her Oscar, she was heart breaking, and of course Humphrey Bogart's quiet control was always riveting, but I watch Edward G. Robinson and remember your saying that he and James Cagney were introduced as "heavies" and just as with Cagney I find the term incredible, because he was so much more than that. An intellectual, an art collector, and in "Double Indemnity" he was the essential balance on the other side of the scales from Barbara Stanwyck; just as you can't imagine that film without her, you can't imagine it without him. This is indeed film noir at its darkest, but is there any chance of your reviewing "The Woman in the Window" which I think absolutely remarkable - Edward G. Robinson again and directed by Fritz Lang and I adore every twist and turn in it. Best wishes, Alida

      It's on my list. I try to keep in mind whenever people are steriotyrped , that not everyone back then knew or cared about how interesting these actors were in their personal lives, to the industry, they were merely commodities & "earners" and to the industry, the movies that he and Cagney made which filled the coffers, were gangster pictures. So, they got stuck making more and more gangster movies And it took either a "Yankee Doodfle Dandy" or a "Doiuble Indeminity" to break the pattern, and even then it didn't usually work. Sooner or later, they were back playing gangsters ( "White Heat", " Key Largo") .Similar to Dick Powell, who was steriotyped as an insipid crooner in the '30.s and changed his type to film noitr to break free and revive his career.Steve

    I haven't seen this movie in a long time, but I think that I will pick it up again. John Huston was an absolute genius as a director. He was a real artist at film making. My favorite John Huston movie is "The Night of the Iguana" which was beautifully filmed and all of the cast went above and beyond with their characters. I never appreciated Richard Burton as an actor until I saw him in that movie. Great review, as usual, Steve. Can hardly wait for the next one.

    The film noir - the greatest chapters in the history of cinema! Starting with the 1930 and 1955's film noir created by great directors and actors of high class! Which of the current actors can now replace Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, and Edmond O' Brian ...? No one! There are no such persons, who could now mimic film noir. America, as most of these films belong to the film companies of the country, created a fashion, clothes, hats, cigars, whiskey, cars, sparkling night of advertising, casinos, restaurants, and so forth, just yet created ideal breeding ground for crime novels, which served the script for the black-and-white films. Prohibition has created a mafia and gangsters, in their turn became the heroes of many "black" films. The great director Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, John Huston, Robert Siodmak, Rudolph Mate, Billy Wilder and Otto Perminger, Raoul Walsh, Jean Negulesco, Edward Dmytryk, ........ they are not repeatable !!! See the film noir. About 200 of the immortal masterpieces of world cinema! Long live the film noir !!! My eternal love of film noir !!!

      AMIRKHAN NOIR not just lacking film noir actors but great actors for most parts. Who could fill a William Powell or Jean Harlow role now? They'd cast Clooney and J Lawrence. Clooney for me as a woman has never been charming or debonair but merely trying to be that way, but you can see the effort behind it. I do like Lawrence but she's no Harlow. Who could you cast in a The Thin Man remake? Well, here's hoping they NEVER re make it, it's a terrible idea though which means it's probably on the cards. I think Robert Downey Jr is the actor who could come closest. He's a cut above most of the others of today and appeals to me as a classic movie fan, it must be something about him particularly because I notice his appeal to others too. Today's actors just don't measure up comparatively unfortunately. It's like they make films based purely on their pay day now, you want them in an awful turkey? Sure, they'll make it for you! Just pay their asking price and they'll do a Michael Bay film with Megan Fox.

At the end of the movie two Seminole Native American men are gunned down by a policeman for no reason and with no consequences to the man who murdered them. How did that scene contribute to the film? It was gratuitous and ugly and ruined the experience of watching this movie.
