Key Largo	comment	Key Largo is a 1948 Film Noir directed by John Huston, adapted In Name Only from the 1939 play of the same name by Maxwell Anderson.World War II veteran Frank McCloud (Humphrey Bogart) arrives at a shoddy, run-down hotel in Key Largo, Florida, which is soon revealed to have been taken over by a notorious gangster named Johnny Rocco (Edward G. Robinson). Rocco is waiting at the hotel to conduct business, and awaits the first chance to flee to Cuba where he'd been exiled by the feds.The hotel is run by the disabled James Temple (Lionel Barrymore) and his daughter-in-law Nora (Lauren Bacall), the widow of Frank's old war friend. James mourns the loss of his son in Italy and wants him to have died a hero. A passing sheriff's deputy, checking on the place as a hurricane threatens to blow in, is also taken hostage by Rocco's gang. A group of local Seminoles try to find sanctuary but are forced to huddle outside as the storm approaches.The hurricane arrives before the gang can do business and depart, and the mobsters are trapped with the hostages as the hurricane hits shore.

Key Largo / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: Nora derides McCloud as this after he says he won't risk his life just to bring Rocco down. It's subverted later on when she sees McCloud risk his life just to comfort Gaye after Rocco torments her. Played straight with Rocco himself, however. He's brave enough when he has people outnumbered or the other guy's gun is unloaded, but when faced with real danger, such as the hurricane, he quickly loses his nerve. In the final face-off with McCloud, he pleads, begs, and tries several times to trick Frank into dropping his guard.

When the hurricane starts turning Rocco into a quivering mess, Frank taunts back: "You don't like it, do you Rocco, the storm? Show it your gun, why don't you? If it doesn't stop, shoot it!"

Later, Frank comes to James Temple's defense, and Rocco gets angry enough he actually tries to shoot him. But nothing happens—by mistake, Rocco was holding the still-unloaded gun from before.

Nora and James both believe that Frank could tell the gun wasn't loaded from the weight, but Frank rebuffs such talk. Frank's desire to "make a world in which there's no place for Johnny Rocco" comes back after the sheriff mistakenly kills the Osceola Brothers for the deputy's death and it looks as though Rocco will get away.
