CITY HALL — Advocates of a mandatory
paid sick leave bill upped the pressure on City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to a fever pitch Wednesday, accusing her of being complicit in the death of a young
father who died of stomach cancer — because he couldn't take time off from work to recover from his treatment, his
widow alleged.
This loose adaptation of Maxwell Anderson's play, written and directed by John Huston (with Richard Brooks serving as co-scripter), casts Bogart as Frank McCloud, a WWII veteran who arrives in Key Largo, Florida, to
pay his respects to James and Nora Temple (Lionel Barrymore and Bacall), the
father and
widow of one of his friends killed in action.
