Review of To Have and Have Not (1945) by Danny D — 28 Dec 2007
This film is very loosely based on the hemingway novel of the same name. the film is phenomenal, the deviations from hemingways novel were mostly for the better as the novel is my least favorite of the 6 hemingway novels I have read, and even hemigway admitted that without the story changes the novel would have never made a good movie.
this was a good movie, hawks direction was great and bogart was casual but commanding. bogarts performance was effortless, like he walked in off the street and threw down some attitude for two hours and called it a day, while at the same time he was incredible.
he brings films to a new level they couldnt reach without him. great flick.
