It is not long since the fall of France and the island is controlled by pro-German Vichy France. Harry makes a modest living chartering his fishing boat to tourists, along with his unofficial mate Eddie ( Walter Brennan ). Eddie is Harry 's close friend and one time trusted co-worker, but he has of late succumbed to heavy drinking. The island is a tinder - box of dissent, harboring many people sympathetic to Free France. At his hotel home, hotel owner Gérard ( Marcel Dalio ) ( known as `` Frenchy '' to English speakers ) urges Harry to help the French Resistance by smuggling some people off the island. Harry steadfastly refuses, choosing to keep aloof from the current political situation. Also at the hotel, he meets Marie ( `` Slim '' ) Browning ( Lauren Bacall ), a young American wanderer who has recently arrived in Martinique. An accomplished singer, she sings `` How Little We Know '' with pianist Cricket ( Hoagy Carmichael ) in the hotel bar. Harry 's current charter client, Johnson ( Walter Sande ), owes Harry $825. Johnson insists he has n't enough ready money, but promises to get the funds when the banks open the next day. In the hotel bar, Harry notices Slim pick Johnson 's pocket and he later forces her to hand over the wallet. On inspection the wallet is found to contain $1,400 in traveler 's cheques and a plane ticket for early the next morning ( before the banks are open ). On returning the wallet to Johnson, Harry demands that Johnson sign the traveler 's cheques to pay him immediately. But just then, there is a shootout in front of the hotel between police and the Resistance, and Johnson is killed by a stray bullet. The police take Harry and several others for questioning, and seize Harry 's passport and money. Back at the hotel, Gérard offers to hire Harry and his boat for one night to transport Resistance members Paul de Bursac ( Walter Surovy ) and his wife Hélène ( Dolores Moran ). Now effectively penniless, Harry reluctantly accepts Gérard 's offer. Meanwhile, a romance has been developing between Harry and Slim, the latter of whom feels that Harry changed his mind about the smuggling to help her out. Her suspicions are bolstered by the fact that Harry has used some of the money he earned in transporting the fugitives to buy her a plane ticket back to America. Harry picks up the Bursacs, but his boat is seen and fired upon by a police patrol boat. His passenger Paul is wounded, but Harry manages an escape by turning his boat into the fog. On returning to the hotel, he learns that Slim has not used the ticket he purchased for her and instead has stayed in Martinique to be with him. The Bursacs are holed - up in the basement of the hotel and at Frenchy 's request, Harry removes the bullet from Bursac 's shoulder. He learns that the Bursacs have come to help a man escape from the penal colony at Devil 's Island. Bursac asks for Harry 's assistance in this operation, but Harry respectfully turns him down. The police reveal that they recognized Harry 's boat the previous night, and that they have Eddie in custody. Exploiting his addiction to alcohol, they plan to withhold liquor until he reveals the details of the smuggling plot. His friend in custody and his back against the wall, Harry decides to act ; with Slim 's help, Harry turns the tables on the police. He holds Captain Renard ( Dan Seymour ) at gunpoint and forces him to order Eddie 's release and to sign harbor passes. When Eddie returns, Harry, Eddie, Slim, and the Bursacs all escape on Harry 's boat ; Harry having agreed to help the Bursacs in their mission. Cast Dan Seymour, Aldo Nadi, Humphrey Bogart, Sheldon Leonard, Marcel Dalio and Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not Humphrey Bogart as Harry `` Steve '' Morgan Walter Brennan as Eddie Lauren Bacall as Marie `` Slim '' Browning Dolores Moran as Mme Hélène de Bursac Hoagy Carmichael as Cricket Sheldon Leonard as Lieutenant Coyo Walter Surovy as Paul de Bursac Marcel Dalio as Gérard ( Frenchy ) Walter Sande as Johnson, Harry 's charter client Dan Seymour as Capitaine Renard Aldo Nadi as Renard 's bodyguard Paul Marion as Beauclère Eugene Borden as Quartermaster Patricia Shay as Mrs. Beauclère Emmett Smith as Bartender Pat West as Bartender Production Howard Hughes sold the book rights to independent director Howard Hawks, who sold them to Warner Bros. Although Hawks had a high regard for Hemingway 's works in general, he considered To Have and Have Not to be his worst book, a `` bunch of junk '', and told Hemingway so. Hawks and Hemingway worked on the screenplay together. The film preserves the book 's title, and the names and characteristics of some of the characters, but nothing from beyond the first fifth of the volume. Another novelist William Faulkner, an intense rival of Hemingway, but `` out of print and broke '', also worked on the script. The screenplay was developed further by Jules Furthman and, near the end, by Faulkner. As the movie was filmed during World War II, Hawks moved the setting from Cuba to Vichy - controlled Martinique to placate the Roosevelt administration. They objected to the unfavorable portrayal of Cuba 's government as against the government 's `` Good Neighbor '' policy toward Latin American nations. This change created many similarities to the plot of Bogart 's earlier, highly successful Casablanca ( 1942 ). Other changes tended in the same direction, such as the introduction of a sympathetic piano player as an important supporting character. Carmichael 's Cricket was not in the Hemingway book but Dooley Wilson 's Sam was a character in Casablanca. Several cast members from Casablanca also appear in the film ; apart from Bogart and Dalio ( Emil in Casablanca ), Dan Seymour ( Abdul in Casablanca ) plays Captain Renard, whose name and position parallel Captain Renault in Casablanca. As in Casablanca, Bogart 's initially reluctant character assists husband - and - wife resistance members. Lauren Bacall was then a 19 - year - old model. She appeared on the cover of Harper 's Bazaar, and was noticed by Hawks ' wife, Nancy `` Slim '' Keith, who showed the cover photo to her husband. Hawks sought Bacall out and signed her for the role, her first movie appearance. In the movie, Harry calls her by the nickname `` Slim '', and she calls him `` Steve '', the nicknames used between Keith and Hawks. After filming began, a romance developed between Bogart and Bacall, despite Hawks ' disapproval. Not only was Bogart married but, at 45, he was more than twice Bacall 's age. This romance eventually led to Bogart divorcing Mayo Methot, his third wife. He and Bacall later married. Hawks expanded Bacall 's part to take advantage of the Bogart - Bacall chemistry. According to the documentary, `` A Love Story : The Story of To Have and Have Not '', included on the 2003 DVD release, Hawks recognized the star - making potential of the film for Bacall. He emphasized her role and downplayed that of Dolores Moran, the film 's other female lead. ( Hawks and Moran had their own affair during production ). Some of Bacall 's lines became renowned as double entendre ; for instance, `` You know how to whistle, do n't you, Steve ? You just put your lips together and... blow... '' ( said while looking at him provocatively ). This quote is ranked at # 34 on AFI 's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes list. Reception Aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports 97 % approval of To Have or Have Not, with the critical consensus stated as, `` With Howard Hawks directing and Bogey and Bacall in front of the cameras, To Have and Have Not benefits from several levels of fine - tuned chemistry -- all of which ignite on screen. '' Music Cricket, the piano player in the hotel bar, was played by real - life songwriter and band leader Hoagy Carmichael. In the course of the movie, Cricket and Slim perform `` How Little We Know '', by Carmichael and Johnny Mercer, and `` Am I Blue ? '', by Harry Akst and Grant Clarke. Cricket and the band also perform `` Hong Kong Blues '', by Carmichael and Stanley Adams. `` The Rhumba Jumps '', by Mercer and Carmichael, is performed by the hotel band. Bacall shimmies out at the end of the movie to a faster `` How Little We Know ''. A persistent myth is that a teenage Andy Williams, the future singing star, dubbed the singing for Bacall. According to authoritative sources, including Hawks and Bacall, this was not true. Williams and some female singers were tested to dub for Bacall, because of fears that she lacked the necessary vocal skills. But those fears were overshadowed by the desire to have Bacall do her own singing ( perhaps championed by Bogart ) despite her less than perfect vocal talent. This myth is disputed in Leonard Maltin 's Movie Guide entry for this film, but the myth is propagated in a 1986 episode of MacGyver, entitled `` Three for the Road '', when the character of a veteran movie asks his wife this particular question, whereupon she answers that Andy Williams, when 14, did dub the voice for Lauren Bacall. Adaptations To Have and Have Not was adapted as an hour - long radio play for Lux Radio Theater, with Bogart and Bacall reprising their screen roles. It was broadcast on October 14, 1946. Warner Brothers adapted the novel a second time, in the 1950 film The Breaking Point. This screenplay stayed closer to the novel ; it bore little resemblance to the 1944 film.
