257 To Have and Have Not (1944)
- 'Humphrey Bogart' (qv) and 'Lauren Bacall' (qv) fell in love during
production. Director 'Howard Hawks' (qv) afterward said that it was
actually Bacall's character Marie that Bogart had fallen for, ``so she had
to keep playing it the rest of her life.''
- 'Ernest Hemingway' (qv) had bet Hawks that Hawks couldn't film this novel.
Hawks did it by deleting most of the story, including the class references
that would justify the title, and shifting to an earlier point in the
lives of the lead characters.
- The setting was shifted to Martinique because the Office of
Inter-American Affairs would not have allowed export of a film showing
smuggling and insurrection in Cuba.
- 'Andy Williams' (qv) dubbed Bacall singing ``How Little We Know''.
