Notes
The Movie That Brought Together Bogart And Bacall That red-hot match is Bogart and 19-year-old Lauren Bacall in her acting debut. Full of intrigue and racy banter (cretin 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 Ernest Hemmingway's novel. And it strongly resembles Casablanca: French resistance fighters, a bluesy piano man (Hoggy Carmichael) and a Martinique bar like Rick's Cafe Americaine. But foremost, it has Bogart and Bacall, carrying on with a passion that smolders from the tips of their cigarettes clear through their souls.
