To Have and Have Not | Director: Howard Hawkes | USA | 1944 | PG | IMDb 7.8 | 100 Minutes - B&W

To Have and Have Not has all the components required to make a great film. Two Nobel Prize winners combine for story and screenplay: Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner. Director, Howard Hughes, considered one of the greatest American Directors of Hollywood’s Golden Age, has a peerless cast to work with!

The action takes place during World War II in Martinique under the control of Vichy France. The story centres on an electric romance between Captain Harry ‘Steve’ Morgan, a freelance fisherman played by Humphrey Bogart and the young American drifter, Marie ‘Slim’ Browning, played by Lauren Bacall, against a backdrop of increasing French resistance to the Island’s collaborating rulers.

Bacall was a Howard Hawkes discovery and was making her sparklingly screen debut as the fast-talking ‘Slim’ who can hold her own with any man. She made a huge impact on the world of cinema as a whole and on her leading man in particular! You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together… and blow.
