Review of To Have and Have Not (1945) by Maclud M — 29 Jun 2009
The main draw of Howard Hawks' romantic adventure classic the palpable chemistry between Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in their first screen pairing. The story itself - adapted from an Ernest Hemingway novel - is nothing special, but a strong cast of top-notch characters actors, witty dialogue, and Hawks' elegant Golden Age filmmaking pull it through.
Entertaining for fans of classic movies, but Hawks, Bogart, and Bacall would fare much better with their masterpiece 'The Big Sleep' a few years later.
