Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore, Edward G. Robinson, & Claire Trevor. Bogart and Bacall were married when they shot this film, and Bacall was only 24 years old in 1948 so this is the youngest I have ever seen her in a movie.
This is a fun 3 star movie about a mob that takes over a nice Florida keys hotel during a hurricane destroying everything around them outside. It was hard for me to take Robinson seriously as a bad guy, just like it was for me to take Harrison Ford as a bad guy in "What Lies Beneath". You get so used to watching someone play the good guy it make it tough to see them doing anything else.
The script is nothing to write home about, but the acting is good.
