Director Howard Hawks To Have and Have Not marks the first screen appearance of Lauren Bacall; the first of 4 with her future husband, Humphrey Bogart. Bacall's smouldering "Look" was crafted here and the on screen chemistry with Bogie is palpable from their first encounter. The film features arguably Bacall's most famous line; "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow."

Not a great movie, but good overall. Bogart as a charming lead character, and Bacall simply stunning in her first screen appearance.. She takes all the spotlight with her presence, her looks and the best lines in all the script

Doesn't reach the transcendent heights of Casablanca, I think mainly because the supporting cast isn't as strong and the nascent relationship between Bogart and Bacall doesn't have the tragic element that Bogart/Bergman had. That said, this is a very strong film that crackles with sexual tension and presents Bogart again as a world-weary, "I stick my neck out for nobody" skipper who, nonetheless, puts himself in harm's way to help the war effort. It loses none of its sparkle today; I loved it.

The best of all Bogart-Bacall movies, atmospheric and a script that make more sense than The Big Sleep, compelling with sharp dialogues. Walter Brennan is excellent and touching, and small parts like Dalio, Seymour and Carmichael are making wonders to bring the movie’s colors to a full spectrum.

Plot in a nutshell: An American boat captain wages war against the Nazis in Martinique, with some help along the way from his frequently drunk right-hand man, and his clever girlfriend.
