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

Top CriticHuston's wayward talent seldom lacked energy.

Edward G. Robinson deserves special praise.

Emphasis is on tension in the telling, and effective use of melodramatic mood has been used to point up the suspense.

Great cast headed by Bogart in Huston classic.
06/07/07
Like the similarly sweaty, claustrophobic 12 Angry Men, Key Largo is a rare adaptation of a stage play in which the physical constraints of the stagebound source material are a strength rather than a weakness.
08/09/06
Although the characters are basically stereotypes, they are lent the gift of life by a superlative cast.
06/24/06
The script prepared by Mr. Huston and Richard Brooks was too full of words and highly cross-purposed implications to give the action full chance.
