![]() It’s a foreshortened contraction of “Santa Ana”, the name of a wind which blows off the California coast bringing clear weather and good sailing. When Bogart made “Key Largo” in 1948 with his then wife, another boat played a significant role in the story, and if you have the pleasure to watch the film the next time it comes around on Turner Classic Movies, though never mentioned in dialogue, you’ll note the name on the stern of the fishing boat is “Santana”. The middle-aged Bogie had famously met the 19 year Bacall while filming Hemingway’s “To Have and Have Not”. Humphrey Bogart bought the 55 foot sailing yacht from actor friend, and fellow movie screen detective, Dick Powell in 1945, shortly after marrying Lauren Bacall. The photograph was of Bogart and Lauren Bacall, with Bogart smoking a cigarette, a fateful symbol of the throat cancer which would eventually take him. He had said it was a cleat from the sailing boat which belonged for a while to Hollywood movie icon Humphrey Bogart, the Santana. A friend had given it to me along with the negative of a photograph to identify it. But, ah, at last like a mystical trick of the leprechauns, there it was, a t-shaped piece of wood, coated with water sealant thin varnish. I had put it away for safe keeping because it was a valuable piece of Hollywood history, wasn’t it? And like many important things put away for safety, I couldn’t find it. Also cleared up the question of location vs studio, although there's a little ambiguity about which sound stage(s) were used for the interior shots (for example, see and ).I was rummaging around looking for a missing item. ![]() (It's about 1100 at present.) Bjenks ( talk) 06:20, 19 January 2016 (UTC) Reply Done I cut down the plot summary, from a bloated 1098 words to more reasonable 587. While you're at it, please prune the melodramatic plot down to the MoS specification of 400-700 words. My guess is that over 95% of the footage was shot in a studio, with only a few outdoor scenes shot at a location, which was not necessarily in Florida. Well, blow me down, the important issue seems to be whether or not Bogart was billed a quarter of an inch below Robinson! C'mon surely one of you film buffs can make this article a little more encyclopedic. ![]() Can someone address this? Timan123 01:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC) Reply (Years later.) I wondered about the location and went to the Production section. The article on Key Largo, the actual place, says that all of this movie was filmed on a sound stage, but this article says it was mostly filmed on location.
