Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) arrives at a hotel in The Keys, Florida. A gangster, Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson), is holed up there awaiting his return to the major crime circuit in the U.S. after cooling his heels in Cuba. The hotel is run by handicapped James Temple (Lionel Barrymore) and his luscious daughter-in-law Nora (Lauren Bacall). Bogie's character served in the WWII with their deceased son/wife. Okay, if this description is not enough to wet your whistle, then there is not much more that I can say. A perfect vehicle to perpetuate the super stardom of Bogie, and I don't think Bacall has ever looked better (truly). Almost clinically great support from Robinson and Barrymore add this to the top of my Film-noir listing... correction - my all -time film listing. out of
