directed by John Huston
featuring Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Monte Blue, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore, Claire Trevor, Thomas Gomez

Richard Brooks and John Huston's screenplay for Huston's Key Largo eschews the lofty blank verse of Maxwell Anderson's original play, concentrating instead on the simmering tensions among the many characters.

Macao

Macao (1952) more movies like this

directed by Josef von Sternberg
featuring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, William Bendix, Thomas Gomez, Gloria Grahame

The tendency is to scoff at Macao as just another example of Josef von Sternberg's late-career exercises in exoticism; true, it has its problems, including a weak plot and a slightly hasty pace, but it is still an extraordinary film for its time and its personnel. The real sparkplug for the movie is Jane Russell as out-of-work singer Julie Benson, ...

The Adventures of Hajji Baba (1954) more movies like this

directed by Don Weis
featuring John Derek, Elaine Stewart, Rosemarie Bowe, Thomas Gomez, Paul Picerni

In the 1950s, historical spectaculars set in the Far or Middle East became the repository for exploitive tales of eroticism, pure lust, and concupiscent freedom. The "decadence" of previous times gave American filmmakers an excuse to satisfy viewers' libidinal and voyeuristic desires. All this holds true for The Adventure of Haji Baba, a racy, sex ...
