So whether 'Casablanca' is a better film than 'To Have and Have Not' could be debated at length and does not matter. Both films can be very enjoyable and the rest is personal preferences. What I really like about 'To Have..' is the relationship between Harry and Slim and the way it develops throughout the film. Howard Hawks reputedly told Bogart that he was going to make Bacall more insolent than he was. For my money he certainly succeeded and it was, of course, a Hawks trademark that his women were as tough as the men and could stand up for themselves. Compare this feisty combination to the limply romantic Ingrid Bergman and Bogart crying into his drink in 'Casablanca'. OK, so it's my preference to prefer the chemisty in the first pairing. And in 'To Have...' the way Eddie acts as a foil to Harry and Slim is beautifully realised. As Harry says at one point when someone questions why he would want to look after a confirmed alcoholic: 'He thinks he's looking after me...' In spite of all the toughness there is a lot of heart in this movie.
To Have And Have Not is better than Casablanca.

Also on board: Alexis Dziena's bubble-headed debutante, and her doting dad (Donald Sutherland); Ewen Bremner's Ukranian treasure-hunter (w Read more
