has Hollywood produced a male-female duo with more chemistry than
Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and "To Have and Have Not," their
first collaboration and Bacall's onscreen debut, ranks among their
most electric. The film, based on an undistinguished Ernest Hemingway
novel whose complicated black-market plotting is thoroughly
streamlined by Hawks in favor of character exploration, is defined by
long, simmering sequences of flirtation between its two stars, who
command a series of cramped two shots with an ongoing dynamic of
physical intimacy, innuendo and battles of wit. Bogart is a charter
ship owner in Vichy-occupied Martinique and Bacall is the singing
American tourist who catches his eye from across the boat's swarming
cabaret. Both become embroiled in a fiasco involving French Resistance
money and pesky Vichy policemen, but all of this is window dressing.
To Have and Have Not is first and foremost one of Hawks' most
atmospherically distinctive films, conjuring in a studio backlot a
dance of delicate and exotic energies, from Bacall's sensuous whisper
and Bogart's wafting cigarette smoke to the humid island breezes and
clammy air of secrecy.
