Key Largo

Bogart and Bacall, 1948, also stars Edward G. Robinson, Lionel Barrymore. Directed by John Huston.

Not as much heat as "To Have and Have Not" but interesting nonetheless.

War vet traveling through Florida stops at hotel owned by the father and sister of a war buddy who never made it back. Complications arise when gangster takes over the off-season hotel just before a hurricane strikes.

Adaptation of the Maxwell Anderson play.

Chemistry between the stars is evident but supporting characters make this one something to watch.

Look for Jay Silverheels ("Tonto") in a bit part.

The Big Sleep

Bogart and Bacall in a 1946 classic from Howard Hawks.

Their chemistry is evident in this noir mystery about a rich family that hires detective Philip Marlowe to protect the patriarch's younger daughter. But Marlowe falls for the older sister. Can she be trusted?

Great thriller-mystery with killer cast.

To Have and Have Not

Bogart and Bacall at their best. Howard Hawks directed them in 1944. This is the first film they worked on together and the chemistry is evident.

Faulkner worked on the screenplay from an uncredited Hemingway novel.

Bogart plays a charter boat captain during World War Two who tries to remain aloof and neutral. But circumstances force him to become involved in the resistance and with a sexy cabaret singer.

Great adventure romance.

Walter Brennan shines as Bogart's drunk first mate ("Ever been stung by a dead bee?"), Bacall is HOT and Bogart is prime.

Not to be missed.
