				Plot Summary: 
				Visiting Key Largo, former GI Frank McCloud encounters notorious 
				gangster Johnny Rocco and his men who have taken over a hotel 
				and are awaiting a hurricane to pass. Frank, along with the 
				hotel owner and his daughter-in-law, find themselves prisoners 
				of the ruthless Rocco as a storm brews both inside and outside 
				the establishment. Despite Frank's initial reluctance to engage, 
				Rocco's escalating cruelty forces him to confront the dangerous 
				situation. Dad's Preview: 
				What can one man do against a gang of mobsters? Bogart had such a unique way of inhabiting his roles 
				- he always 
				appears to be planning his next move. He's 
				so darn believable in this noir classic. Edward G. Robinson is 
				also wonderful as the cocky, cold-blooded, mob boss Rocco.
