Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The 1944 film 'To Have and Have Not' was based on a popular 1937 novel. Who was the author of this exciting thriller?

Answer: Ernest Hemingway

'To Have and Have Not' was Hemingway's fourth novel, and the only one he wrote during the 1930s. The book was based on an earlier short story by Hemingway called 'One Trip Across' (the 'trip' being a contraband run from from Cuba to Florida).

2. 'To Have and Have Not' has the characteristic high-octane pace and steamy, seedy visual atmosphere of which director of classic Hollywood?

Answer: Howard Hawks

Howard Hawks was the director of many a Hollywood classic, for example: 'Rio Bravo', 'Red River', 'The Big Sleep' and 'His Girl Friday'. He had already been directing for nearly two decades when he directed this classic film. He directed Bogart and Bacall in both this film and 'The Big Sleep'.

3. Humphrey Bogart adopts his traditional tough guy, loner persona once again for 'To Have and Have Not'. What is the name of the rough-and-tumble character he plays in the film?

Answer: Harry Morgan

Bogart's character Harry Morgan was named after Henry Morgan, the notorious Welsh-born pirate who raided in the Caribbean Sea during the 17th century. Harry Morgan is also the name of a popular actor who was already active in Hollywood at the time, and would later star as Colonel Sherman Potter in the television show 'M*A*S*H'.

4. Lauren Bacall stars alongside Humphrey Bogart in 'To Have and Have Not'. The two actors starred in several films together. Was this their first acting collaboration?

Answer: Yes

Indeed, this was the first of four feature films in which Bogart and Bacall displayed their sizzling romance on camera. The four films, in chronological order, are: 'To Have and Have Not' (1944), 'The Big Sleep' (1946), 'Dark Passage' (1947) and 'Key Largo' (1948). The two of them also appeared as themselves, uncredited, in the 1946 film 'Two Guys from Milwaukee'.

5. On which Caribbean Island does most of the action in the film 'To Have and Have Not' take place?

Answer: Martinique

Martinique was a French possession during World War II (as it still is today), but was under the control of the Vichy regime at the time that the film took place. The capital of Martinique (a d�partement of France) is Fort-de-France.

6. What loving nickname does the Humphrey Bogart character give to the Lauren Bacall character (Marie Browning) during the film?

Answer: Slim

Bacall was a mere 19-years old when this movie was filmed, while Bogart was already 44-years old. The age difference didn't seem to deter either of them, however, as their romance developed on and off the screen during the production process.

Answer: You just put your lips together and blow.

What a great line! So great, in fact, that it was voted as the #34 greatest quote in the history of American film through a poll taken by the American Film Institute. Imagine that, Lauren Bacall delivering one of Hollywood's most memorable lines in her very first film role.

The line is spoken to Steve (Harry Morgan's nickname) as part of a larger dialogue between the two characters who play a game of sexual cat and mouse throughout the film.

8. Which reliable Hollywood supporting actor played the role of Eddie, alcoholic sidekick to the Humphrey Bogart character?

Answer: Walter Brennan

Wow, Walter Brennan seemed to show up in just about every movie during the 1930s, 40s and 50s (he appeared in 222 films altogether during his career). The side-story featuring Eddie's struggles with alcohol, and Harry Morgan's vain attempts to keep his friend away the fire water, is rather touching.

Answer: Cricket

Hoagy Carmichael, as Cricket, performs a couple of numbers on the piano, including 'Hong Kong Blues' and 'The Rhumba Jumps'. Lauren Bacall sings 'How Little We Know' during the film.

10. Which Pulitzer Prize winning novelist helped write the screenplay for 'To Have and Have Not'?

Answer: William Faulkner

Interestingly, this marked a rare instance when a Nobel Prize winner worked on a screenplay from a novel written by another Nobel Prize winner. This marked the only instance in which such a thing has occurred in film history.

Thank you for trying this quiz, I hope you enjoyed it.
