Key Largo (1948)
The American film noir crime drama, Key Largo (1948), was directed by John Huston and starred Humphrey Bogart. Frank McCloud, an army veteran, arrives at the Hotel Largo in Key Largo, Florida to visit the family of his late comrade George Temple, who served under him during the Italian campaign. At the hotel owned by George’s father James, Frank meets with George’s widow Nora and comes to know that due to the end of the winter vacation season and an approaching hurricane, there are only six guests staying at the hotel: Toots who is suave, Curly who is rude, Ralph who is stoic, Angel who is a servant, Gaye Dawn who is attractive but struggling with alcoholism and a sixth man who remains isolated in his room.
The guests claim to be on a fishing trip in Florida Keys. While reminiscing about George’s bravery during battle with Nora and James, Frank also shares some fond details that he had heard from George himself. Both Nora and her father-in-law are impressed by Frank as they reveal that George often mentioned him in his letters. As the hotel is being made hurricane-ready, Sheriff Ben Wade and Deputy Sawyer arrive to look for the fugitive American Indian brothers, while some time after their departure, local Seminoles take refuge at the hotel, including said brothers. Just as the storm draws near, Curly, Ralph, Angel, and Toots unexpectedly show up with guns and hold the Temples and Frank captive.
