John Huston's very 'black and white' crime affair is such a well known film for any movie buff let alone the Bogie-Bacall combination. For beginners, Bogie is a disenchanted war veteran bringing widow Lauren Bacall her late husband's war medals in the famous Keys. That is only the premise as we quickly get involved with shady gangsters in a hotel and Mother Nature venting her fury. The sexuality between Bogie and Bacall is subtler in this film than others we know. They give good performances but the best performances come from the supporting cast among which I will name Lionel Barrymore but especially the grand Claire Trevor who finally got her Oscar after an eternity in mainly supporting Hollywood roles.
