What strikes the viewer at first are the contextual similarities with Casablanca (1942). In need of money and growing closer and closer with Marie, Harry accepts the mission.
#Out of the ordinary movie review free#
When Free French Fighters try to hire his boat for a special mission, Harry refuses, knowing it would get him in trouble with the law, but the law comes in trouble with him anyway and they confiscate his money. Harry confronts her and by analyzing the content of the wallet, realizes he was about to run off. His last client, however, seems reluctant to pay and by chance, he sees him getting robbed out of his wallet by Marie Browning. In that turmoil, Harry Morgan is a boat captain who loans his services to wealthy people in need of a boat. France is occupied by Nazi Germany and La RĂ©sistance, also known as the Free French, are fighting as hard as they can against it, while remaining underground. The film takes place in French Martinique during World War II. I decided to see it after watching Key Largo (1948) which uses some of the deleted boat scenes from To Have and Have Not. My interest in Bogart finally got me to watch his collaborations with his wife Lauren Bacall, funnily enough, this one, To Have and Have Not is the last one I watched but it is where it all started. With Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Walter Brennan I'm a little too skinny to take it kindly." By Howard Hawks
