KEY LARGO is a story about leaving to change things, only to come back and get caught up in them all over again. It’s a tightly wound noir stuck in a flimsy boarding house off the coast of Florida where an ex-GI, a war widow, a hounded mobster, a group of Seminole Indians, and many more seek freedom – and find instead signposts that the world they hoped to build never came to be after World War II.
