TO HAVE & HAVE NOT

Details

• Release Year: 1944
• Genre: Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: Help the Free French? ; ; Not world-weary gunrunner Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart). ; ; But he changes his mind when a sultry siren-in-distress named Marie asks, 'Anybody got a match?' ; ; That red-hot match is Bogart and 19-year-old first-time film actress Lauren Bacall. ; ; Full of intrigue and racy banter (including Bacall's legendary whistling instructions), this thriller excites further interest for what it has and has not. ; ; Cannily directed by Howard Hawks and smartly written by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman, it doesn't have much similarity to the Ernest Hemingway novel that inspired it. ; ; And it strongly resembles Casablanca: French resistance fighters, a piano-playing bluesman (Hoagy Carmichael) and a Martinique bar much like Rick's Cafe Americaine. ; ; But first and foremost, it showcases Bogart and Bacall, carrying on with a passion that smolders from the tips of their cigarettes clear through to their souls.; ;
