A little windy and rhetorical for my taste, but still one of John Huston's best efforts.

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

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

Key Largo manages to keep audiences on their toes or at the edge of their seat from start to finish.
