To Have and Have Not
Starring Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Walter Brennan.
Directed by Howard Hawks. (1944, 100 mins.)
This is the movie that brought Bogart and Bacall together – both on screen and off. Bogart is the owner of a charter boat in Vichy-controlled Martinique. Approached by Free French activists, Bogart doesn’t want to stick his neck out for them – until he finds that doing so will help Bacall. While the screenplay by William Faulkner and Jules Furthman owes as much to Casablanca as to the Hemingway novel they were adapting, it nevertheless is a terrific blend of romance and action leavened with comedy, and Howard Hawks’ direction is, as usual, masterful. But what makes the film truly electric is the unmistakable chemistry that was boiling over for real between Bogart and Bacall as the cameras rolled.

"The stranger", Hitchcock at the Loews
Saturday, September 25 - 6 PM
The Stranger
Starring Orson Welles, Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young. Directed by Orson Welles.
(1946, 95 mins., B&W) Unrated, but suitable for most audiences.
Often considered to be the most "conventional" film that Welles directed, "The Stranger" tends to be overlooked amid "Citizen Kane," "A Touch of Evil" and his other more famous titles. But this cat-and-mouse hunt to unmask a Nazi war criminal hiding in a sleepy Connecticut town still brims with Welles's flair, such as his extraordinary use of lighting and shadow, long focus and dramatic camera angles. It's also a first-rate thriller thanks to a great performance by Welles, and also by Robinson. The theme is a familiar one to Hitchcock fans: evil amid the ordinary, and at least one notable scene have something in common with Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt."
