To Have and Have Not movie storyline. Adapted from the 1937 novel by Ernest Hemingway, with a script by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman – often considered a sequel to Casablanca. Noted for being the film in which Bogart fell in love with much-younger Bacall. In Vichy-controlled Martinique in 1940 after the fall of France, American charter boat captain Harry ‘Steve’ Morgan (Humprey Bogart), with whiskey-soaked Eddie (Walter Brennan) who continually asks “Was you ever bit by a dead bee?”, hires his vessel for professional fishing excursions.
Although jaded, Harry reluctantly agrees to become involved and aid the Free French Resistance movement by smuggling an underground leader Paul De Bursac (Molnar) and his wife Helene (Dolores
Moran) off the island. Living in an upstairs apartment above a cafe where Cricket (Hoagy Carmichael) plays the piano, Harry meets and falls in love with a sultry and seductive young woman Marie ‘Slim’ Browning (Lauren Bacall in her screen debut) – she teaches him how to whistle.
To Have and Have Not is a 1944 American romance-war-adventure film directed by Howard Hawks. The film stars Humphrey Bogart, Walter Brennan and Lauren Bacall in her film debut. Although it is nominally based on the novel of the same name by Ernest Hemingway, the story was extensively altered for the film.
