Memorable Quotes and Dialog:
"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."
Entertainment Reviews:
A CASABLANCA-influenced love story set against a French Resistance backdrop in Martinique.
USA Today
Bogart is in his usual metier, a tough guy who, no less, has the facility of making a dame go for him, instead of he for her. That's where Bacall comes in.

Variety
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The dialogue crackles (including the legendary "whistle / blow" line), Bacall sizzles, and Bogart captivates.

Film Frenzy
Rating: 6/10 --
The effortless chemistry between Bogart and Bacall help distract from the fact that To Have and Have Not has little more going for it.

The Retro Set
Bogie and Bacall fell in love while making the film, and their scenes reflect this, giving To Have and Have Not a degree of emotional presence that is unusual in the 'bite on the bullet' world of Hawks.

Time Out
Lauren Bacall has cinema personality to burn, and she burns both ends against an unusually little middle.

TIME Magazine
In many ways the ultimate Hawks film: clear, direct, and thoroughly brilliant.

Product Description:
A 40-something Humphrey Bogart and a novice named Lauren Bacall might have seemed like an odd pairing on paper, but their chemistry in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT ignites the screen. Howard Hawks directs this classic about a jaded American fisherman (Bogart) who risks his life to help a group of French freedom fighters and a sultry young woman (Bacall) with whom he falls in love. The fascinating setting (Vichy-controlled Martinique during the Second World War), the source material (Ernest Hemingway's 1937 novel), and a screenplay co-written by a literary master (William Faulkner) all take a backseat to the on- and off-screen romance between the two legends. TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT is perhaps most memorable for the 19-year-old Bacall seducing Bogart (and audiences) with her lesson on whistling.
Description by Warner Home Video:
To Have and Have Not
Help the Free French' Not world-weary gunrunner Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart). But he changes his mind when a sultry siren-in-distress named Marie asks, "Anybody got a match'"
That red-hot match is Bogart and 19-year-old first-time film actress Lauren Bacall. Full of intrigue and racy banter (including Bacall's legendary whistling instructions), this thriller excites further interest for what it has and has not. Cannily directed by Howard Hawks and smartly written by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman, it doesn't have much similarity to the Ernest Hemingway novel that inspired it. And it strongly resembles Casablanca: French resistance fighters, a piano-playing bluesman (Hoagy Carmichael) and a Martinique bar much like Rick's Cafe Americaine. But first and foremost, it showcases Bogart and Bacall, carrying on with a passion that smolders from the tips of their cigarettes clear through to their souls.
