Reel 91b: Humphrey Bogart Joins the Resistance, Pt.2
Sunday, 1 February, 2026

We continue this episode with To Have and Have Not, a 1944 production directed by Howard Hawks. In this film, Bogart plays a sport tourism fisherman who's asked to use his boat to assist the French Resistance in Martinique. He meets up with Marie "Slim" Browning (Lauren Bacall) and that's where the fireworks started, both on and off screen. If you don't know how to whistle, Bacall offers up a fine lesson for you. COMING ATTRACTIONS: Next time, we take our first foray into silent films, with DW Griffith's Intolerance, from 1916, and Liberty Heights, from 1999, directed by Barry Levinson. These films were made in response to criticisms of earlier films from those directors. Join us, won't you?
