To Have and Have Not is the dramatic story of Harry Morgan, an honest man who is forced into running contraband between Cuba and Key West as a means of keeping his crumbling family financially afloat. His adventures lead him into the world of wealthy and dissipated yachtsmen who throng the region, and involve him in a strange and unlikely love affair.
Harsh, realistic, yet with one of the most subtle and moving relationships in the Hemingway oeuvre, To Have and Have Not is literary high adventure at its finest.
You will be disappointed if you are expecting a written version of the 1944 movie. Very little of it is the same. Director Howard Hawks told his friend Hemingway he could take this book that he considered the worst book Hemingway had ever written, “a piece of junk”, and make it a successful movie. He did, with help of William Faulkner, a few other screenwriters and a scared 18-year old actress named Lauren Bacall.
