Bogart returns to reluctant hero mode as a former Army major held hostage by a gangster in a ramshackle Florida hotel. Lauren Bacall pairs with Bogie for the last time in this claustrophobic thriller.
Humphrey Bogart returns to reluctant hero mode as a former Army major paying respects to a friend’s widow (Lauren Bacall) and father (Lionel Barrymore) at their ramshackle Florida hotel. With a hurricane gathering force outside, the trio find themselves the hostages of a Capone-like gangster on the lam (Edward G. Robinson) and his henchmen.
