To Have and Have Not
Directed by Howard Hawks

1h 40m
Directed by Howard Hawks • 1944 • United States
Starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Walter Brennan
“Anybody got a match?” With her very first line in her very first film, Lauren Bacall set the screen ablaze opposite Humphrey Bogart—and an immortal star pairing was born. Loosely adapted from the novel by Ernest Hemingway, TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT stars Bogart as a world-weary gunrunner in World War II–era Martinique who’s initially reluctant to get involved with the cause of the Free French, but who changes his mind when a sultry siren-in-distress (Bacall) appears asking for a light. Crackling with intrigue and racy banter, this classic adventure-romance represents one of the purest distillations of director Howard Hawks’s signature concern with the relationship between the group and the individual.
