“The decision to bring it to Key Largo was just natural,”  Stephen Humphrey Bogart told TheWrap. “Plus, it’s beautiful that time of year—lots of boating and fishing. My father loved his yacht.”

In addition to being the festival location, Key Largo is also the name of one of Bogart's classic films.

The first movie line-up for the Humphrey Bogart Film Festival, which is supported by both Key Largo Chamber of Commerce and Bogart’s estate, will be determined by votes here.
