Here comes Barry!
What an apt time to revisit an old classic. With Tropical Storm Barry banging at the door, I tune into John Huston's classic. Huston directed and co-wrote (with Richard Brooks) this amazing story of gangsters coming up to Key West from Cuba to do a deal in the middle of a storm.
Starring the greats Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, with Edward G. Robinson as Rocco, the quintessential gangster, this was a joy from start to finish.
Lionel Barrymore was outstanding as the father wanting to hear about his son from his commanding officer (Bogart), and the gnat that was irritating Rocco. Claire Trevor won her Oscar as the drunken girlfriend. She was magnificent.
Not Casablanca, but darn close.
