“You know how to whistle, just put your lips together and blow.”

This film starts on a black-and-white screen with a map and the same type of narration that we find when we were watching Casablanca. The narration gives us a general background so that we know the context of the story we are watching. The Germans just took over France at the price of gas is $.28 a gallon, yet our story takes place in Martinique in the Southwest Indies. Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart), an out-of-work fishing boat owner, is finally faced with a decision. Harry’s sidekick Eddie (Walter Brennan) inadvertently goes along for the ride. Soon everyone gets involved, including Marie 'Slim' Browning (Lauren Bacall), a young lady who is down on her luck and just passing through. Besides some heavyweight actors, this film also has some major name writers and director-producers behind it. Into this new music from Cricket (Hoagy Carmichael) is a major background character in the film. Of course, the film came out years before Blu-ray, yet many of the remastered versions make it feel like it was just written yesterday. The copy I watched had an added 10/10/46 radio play of “To Have and Have Not.” So, sit back, enjoy the film, and ask yourself what you would have done if you had lived in that time and place.
