It's a lot different than "TGFH," no doubt, but IMHO, a good Paramount 1940's era detective drama. I think the later "Blue Dahlia" is superior to both. Try it, if you haven't already. Also, to read the Hamett, is to see what Hollywood did (and does) to fine examples of literature. Paramount made this as a vehicle for its movie stars, and that has it's inherent shortcomings. The director (Stuart Heisler) is a not a genius, but proved over a long career as a dependable craftsman. I find "Key" entertaining, and have seen it many times. I provide a link to Heisler's IMDB to show his versatility, and proof of a long career. He worked with a lot of stars, (including Ladd) on some A, but mostly B pictures.
