Popcorn Bites: To have and have not (1944) :) No Spoilers :)

Directed by: Howard Hawks
Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Walter Brennan
Genre: Adventure, Romance, Thriller
IMBD Synopsis: Harry Morgan and his alcoholic sidekick, Eddie, are based on the island of Martinique and crew a boat available for hire. However, since the second world war is happening around them business is not what it could be and after a customer who owes them a large sum fails to pay they are forced against their better judgement to violate their preferred neutrality and to take a job for the resistance transporting a fugitive on the run from the Nazis to Martinique. Through all this runs the stormy relationship between Morgan and Marie "Slim" Browning, a resistance sympathizer and the sassy singer in the club where Morgan spends most of his days.
My Rating: 7/10
My Comment: I have so much respect for Humphrey Bogart's movies. He always has attractive co-stars, he is always in these romantic/travel movies. I really enjoyed watching this movie. It was beautiful written and it was based on a Hemingway novel. For those of you who don't know who Hemingway is he an American writer best known for "A farewell to arms" (which I should be reading soon). This movie was a perfect raining day movie. Thanks for reading :)
Love,
