Description:
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.
Amazon.com essential video:
Yes, it's true: you can virtually see Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall falling for each other in this Howard Hawks variation on Casablanca but adapted from--as legend has it--Ernest Hemingway's self-declared 'worst novel.' (The story goes that Hawks told Hemingway he could make a movie of the author's least work, and Hemingway gave him the rights to this story.) The script by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman actually makes this one of Hawks's and Bogart's most interesting and often exciting films. Bogart plays a boat captain who reluctantly agrees to help the French Resistance while wooing chanteuse Bacall. Hoagy Carmichael, wry at the piano, adds a delicious accent to an already wonderful mood. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - taut drama with outstanding, memorable performances
To Have And Have Not is absolutely an essential film for your classic movie collection. This motion picture boasts great performances by Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Hoagy Carmichael. Dan Seymour is also very convincing as the Vichy government's Captain Renard; and look also for a great job by Walter Brennan as Eddie.
When the action starts we quickly meet Harry Morgan and his sidekick Eddie (Walter Brennan). Harry runs a fishing boat day trip business in the port of Martinique ... Read More
Rating:  - Here, Bogie & Bacall "Have Not" got "It"
Howard Hawks' adaptation of Hemingway's TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT is, despite its popularity, a flawed work.
For one, teenaged fashion model Lauren Bacall had NO training to be an actress. She's called upon in her screen debut to sing a few times and does so in a weak, wavery low alto. And the woman had an odd face. If she was a bit younger, Bogie might've gotten arrested for pedophilia-- which is another problem the film has: their disparity in age.
The SLOW-moving story is ... Read More
Rating:  - Lesser Bogart vehicle
I was disappointed with this filming of the Hemingway story at a number of levels. The performances of Bogart and Bacall were the only signs of life in this otherwise dull and unimaginative film. The direction of Howard Hawks is largely to blame. While his early work has a certain excitement appropriate to its subject matter, by the late 30s he was already exhibiting signs of his worst excesses in films like "Bringing Up Baby" and "Only Angels Have Wings".
"To Have and Have Not" isn't ... Read More
Rating: - On My Must-Have List
No, it's not CASABLANCA - that's kinda the point. It's a smaller, more precious version of essentially the same story line, and it's got Bogie falling head over heels for Bacall right in front of your eyes. Okay okay, so she doesn't sing that well - who needs singing when you've got a face like that? A classic. An essential.
Rating:  - To Have and Have Not
The first pairing of Bogart & Bacall is electric, the on-screen chemistry is undeniable. Of course, we have hindsight now & we know that they did have an affair & that they did get married in real life. Bacall's first performance as a mere 19 year old is fascinating & magnetic.
The movie is based on an Ernest Hemingway novel on the same name. The director, Howard Hawks, had been wanting to make a movie based on a Hemingway work for years & he finally got to do this ... Read More
