To Have and Have Not
To Have and Have Not is a 1937 novel by Ernest Hemingway about Harry Morgan, a fishing boat captain who runs contraband and guns between Cuba and Florida.
The 1944 film version, directed by Howard Hawks, moved the story's setting from the Key West to Martinique under the Vichy regime. Harry "Steve" Morgan, played by Humphrey Bogart, ends up working for the French Resistance and falls for a pickpocket played by Lauren Bacall.
The film is remembered for the onscreen chemistry between Bogart and Bacall, most notably when Bacall asks Bogart "You know how to whistle, don't you?" The chemistry continued offscreen, as the pair married and played opposite one another in a number of later films.
The second film version, titled The Breaking Point (1950), was directed by Michael Curtiz and starred John Garfield. It shifted the action to southern California and made Garfield a former PT Boat captain.
