Frank at first appears indifferent to the situation, but Rocco's treatment of his alcoholic mistress Gaye (Trevor) and his hand in the murder of two local Indians and a police officer convinces Frank that Rocco must be stopped. His chance comes when Rocco forces Frank to pilot the boat by which the gang intends to escape to Cuba.

Production

According to the Internet Movie Database, the movie was filmed in only 78 days, virtually all on the Warner Bros. lot, except for a few long shots in Florida used for the opening scenes. An alternate claim is that much of the film was shot on location at the Caribbean Club on Key Largo in southern Florida. Caribbean Club on Key Largo, northernmost of the Florida Keys, was developed and built by auto parts and real estate promoter Carl Graham Fisher in 1938 Key Largo is a Census-designated place in Monroe County, Florida, United States, located on the island of Key Largo in the upper [1]However, the painted sky backdrop on the far side of the tank used in the water shots, distorted perpective of the painted background representing the shore in other shots and the visible wires holding up miniature palm trees during the storm sequence make it clear this was not shot on location.

Robinson had always had top billing over Bogart in their previous films together. For this one, Robinson's name appears to the right of Bogart's, but placed a little higher on the posters, and also in the film opening credits, to indicate Robinson's near-equal status. Robinson's image was also larger and centered on the original poster.

Exterior shots of the hurricane that delays the gang's getaway were actually taken from stock footage used in Night Unto Night, a Ronald Reagan melodrama made the same year by Warner Bros.
