From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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. The story of To Have And Have Not is loosely based on a novel by what American author?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

The story came about from an argument between Hemingway and director Howard Hawks on a fishing trip. Hawks boasted he could make a movie from Hemingways worst novel, and Hemingway suggested 'To Have And Have Not', which he felt was unfilmable.

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

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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'.

4. What are the nicknames of Bogart and Bacall's characters in the film?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: Steve and Slim

Marie 'Slim' Browning and Captain Harry 'Steve' Morgan. Their romance is the key to the film's working so well.

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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'.

6. What was the name of Walter Brennan's character?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: Eddie

It's hard to say what is the best aspect of this film, but Walter Brennan is a big part of it.

7. What question was he always asking people?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: Was you ever bit by a dead bee?

'sometimes they can still bite you, especially if they was mad when they died.'

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

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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 département of France) is Fort-de-France.

9. What was the name of Hoagy Carmichael's character?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: Cricket

His songs and chemistry with Bacall are another great part.

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

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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.

11. What was the name of Bogart's boat in the movie?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: Queen Conch

That's a tough one. They only show it at the very beginning of the film. 'Santana' is the boat from 'Key Largo', 'Queen' is from the 'African Queen' and 'Lulu Belle' is Bogart's tank in 'Sahara'.

12. One of the most famous lines in the history of Hollywood film was spoken by the Lauren Bacall character. Complete the quote by selecting the correct response to the rhetorical question: 'You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve?'

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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.

13. What is the setting of the film?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: Martinique

French occupied Martinique, shortly after the installation of the Vichy government.

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

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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.

15. 'To Have and Have Not' features a great deal of musical entertainment, including Lauren Bacall's lovely singing voice and the original music of Hoagy Carmichael. What is Carmichael's character called in this film?

From Quiz To Have and Have Not

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.

16. What was Lauren Bacall's famous line from this movie?

From Quiz To Have And Have Not

Answer: You know how to whistle, don't you?

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

From Quiz 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.
