Key Largo (1948 John Huston)

When skirts were worn long and trousers high, ex soldier Bogart visits wife and pop (Bacall and Lionel Barrymore) of fallen comrade, only to bump into mobster Edward G and lush girlfriend Claire Trevor (winning Oscar). Tense, claustrophobic drama (Q describes it as painful) has cracking ending.

Well shot in the studio by Karl Freund, music Steiner, Warner Bros. written by Huston and Richard Brooks - play Maxwell Anderson

The very old looking woman Felipa Gomez was only 78 and lived till 96.
