'Key Largo’ Brisk and Violent
In Huston’s Screen Remake
By Joy Cormody
"Key Largo" as a movie at the Warner will surprise the daylights
out of anyone who remembers it as a tired, talkative play. It comes
off as a brisk, intelligent melodrama almost wantonly free from the
pretentious poetry in which Maxwell Anderson dressed the idea in its
original form. John Huston, a direct actionist in life and in screen
literature, is responsible for the lively rewrite. His success suggests
that Playwrignt Anaerson might
wisely take him on as collaborator
In the future.
Stripped of its philosophic fol-de
rol. or bleeding-heart editorial
flavor. “Key Largo” makes drama.
It concerns the identical people who
talked their own, and your, heads
off in the Anderson play but they
are much more engrossing this time.
Their speech is abrupt and is limited
to the words necessary to space out
the lethal gun fire. When the
speech and shots die away, the land
and sea adjacent to Key Largo are
littered with bodies of people who
deserve to be dead.
Audiences should heartily enjoy
the spectacle as Writer-Director
Huston has arranged it with such
expertly cold killers as Humphrey,
Bogart and Edward G. iCobinson.
And with such an uncold -one as
Miss Lauren Bacall who is back
in her basic cinema form.
* * * *
Huston's “Key Largo” is none of
your brooding drivel about a fuzzy
idealist who funked his way out of
the Spanish Civil War. No efTort
is made to picture its hero as in
corruptibly noble, to be sure, but as
Bogart plays him he is far more
interesting than the weary devil
Paul Muni struggled with on the
stage. Also more real are other
members of the strange gallery,
especially the gangster villian ex
pertly created by old blood-and-no
guts Robinson.
“Key Largo’ 'takes its name from
the southernmost tip of Florida and
Is concerned with a few hours of
violent life in a resort hotel during
e hurricane.
To the hotel, just before the
storm, comes Bogart. He brings
with him the story of how his war
buddy. George Temple, died in Italy.
Before he can relate this to George's
Invalid father (Lionel Barrymore)
and the widow (Miss Bacall), he
discovers that their hotel has been
taken over by a gangster and his
mob.
Between the approaching storm
and the gangsters who have arrived

already, the atmosphere is doubly
electric. It takes but a few min
utes to generate an unbearable
friction between ex-Maj. Bogart
and his team and that led by Gang
ster Robinson. By the time the
hurricane begins to blow, the win
der is whether any one will escape
alive.
The human drama counterpointed
against the violence of the storm
centers in the conflict between Bo
Igart and Robinson. Each possesses
'an instinct to kill the other, but
in the case of Bogart it is blurred
by disillusionment with the post
war world, in Robinson's by a
buried strain of plain cowardice.
Huston’s picture is a dramatic
ally built edifice of incident which
sooner or later must strip the hero
and villain of these restraints. Each
scene on the way to the kill offers
something vital both to the sus
pense of the picture and the revela
tion of its key characters.
Most of these are honestly un
flattering to the hero. In one, he
refuses to shoot it out with the
villain in what, on the surface,
looks like an honest duel of cour
age and marksmanship. In an
other, he suffers the gangster to
kiss the girl by whom he has been
smitten and in still another he
stands by while her invalid father
is the only one to protest the shoot
ing of a helpless policeman.
Things are going dramatically
and very bad for Bogart until the
gangster’s sadistic torture of the
latter’s alcohol-shattered mistress
reminds him that he is a man.
The going from that point on is
rough and decisive.
* * * *
Playwright Anderson's once blurry
characters are sharply acted under
Huston's direction. Bogart's hero
trying to tum himself into a cynic
who disdains all moral challenge to
action is dramatic beyond anything
the actor has done in six recent
pictures. Robinson's Johnny Rocco.
a neurotic gangster who tries sew
erpipe-size cigars for poise, and
guns for security is likewise the
best thing in the actor's latter-day
i repertory. He is a man who has
picked up a lot of vile lore in the
field of courtship. Most of it he
exercises on the tormented girl of
his entourage, adroitly played by
Claire Trevor, but Miss Bacall
comes in for her unwanted share
also.
The latter joins Barrymore,
Thomas Gomez and numerous
others in proving that Anderson
had a good idea in ‘‘Key Largo”
and needed only Huston to ex
press it.

They must have had great fun on
the set while making "On Our
Merry Way,” the uninhibited cinema
frolic that has just turned up at the
Palace. The picture is supposed to
have been directed by King Vidor
and Leslie Fenton, but you never
saw so many apparently undirected
actors on the loose. The boys and
girls mickeyrooney their way
through this with unabashed gusto,
whooping and grimacing and hav
ing the slapstick time of their lives.
The film ought to be a wow at
a refined Hollywood party, where
movie stars burlesquing themselves
might conceivably be considered
funny, but as an entertainment for
less specialized audiences, "On Our
Merry Way” leaves something to
be desired. In addition to direc
tion by Mr. Vidor and Mr. Fenton,
the picture boasts Burgess Mere
dith as co-producer, Laurence Stal
lings, Lou Breslow, Arch Oboler and
John O'Hara as writers, Skitch Hen
derson, Donald Kahn and Frank
Loesser as tunesmiths, and Mr.
Meredith, Paulette Goddard, J mmy
Stewart, Henry Fonda, Dorothy La
mour, Fred MacMurray, Victor
Moore and several others as stars.
Seldom has such a mountain of
talent labored to bring forth such.
a molehill of entertainment.—H. M.

‘Raw Deal’ at the Met,
Tests Small’s Theory
A few days ago Producer Edward
Small was telling Hollywood that,
its tragic mistake at the boxofflce
is trying to make pictures that will
please the critics. If Small is right
in this theory, his production ‘•Raw
Deal” at the Metropolitan should
put the industry right back on easy
street. It bored the daylights out
of at least one critic.
‘‘Raw Deal” is the one about the
gangster, poor devil, who takes a
rap for his boss, breaks out of
prison to get his revenge and ends
up by being shot full-of fatal holes.
The one character in the picture
who might be remembered later is
an elephantine villian who is suffer
ing fatty degeneration of everything
except the ego —J. C.

With practically every other studio

most expensive production in its
history. The budget is reported to
exceed $2,000,000, a lot of money for
a studio which once concentrated
on westerns.
The film is “Wake of the Red

Well, bash my teeth with the butt
of a six-gun and call me Wild Bill
Elliott. There's a city feller ridin’
our F street range. Real dude.
Name's Victor Mature and he’s
purtier'n a cow ponyi He c’n draw
quicker n a rattlesnake rattles and
shoot straighter than Randolph
Scott. He can crease the knuckles
of a moving hand at 10 paces. May
be he can even sing better than
Rov Rogers, but he does not do any
singing in "Fury at Furnace Creek,”
which, let it be added in a hurry, Is
no complaint.
Nobody sings In the Capitol's new
Wild West yarn, for that matter. A
lot of people shoot and get shot,
though. This dude. Mature, is the
no-good son of the general in com
mand of old Fort Furnace Creek, a
one-time river boat gambler who Is
a disgrace to his father's name. At
least he Is no good until he gets
wort that his father has died while
standing a court martial for dis
patching the order that diverted
the guard of a wagon train and per
mitted the Apaches to stage a
bloody massacre at the fort.
The massacre induces Congress to
open the Apache lands—this all
takes place in 1880—to settlers and
prospectors after rich silver deposits
and there is suspicion that the gen
eral stood to gain thereby. Victor
knows, though, that his father
would not betray his command so
he sets out to trap the vicious per
petrators of this deed.
"Fury at Furnace Creek.” the
credits have it. was written by
Charles G. Booth, with additional
dialogue by Winston Miller, and
suggested "by a story by David
Garth. It might also have been
suggested by any western made
since William S. Hart was so young
he had to be tied in the saddle. It
has all the standard ingredients—

The cast plays it with a good deal
of zest, like true believers that any

I well. Mr. Mature is not called on
to rise to any thespic heights, but
he does demonstrate that a former
beautiful hunk of man can be ac
