To Have and Have Not2024-09-01
Vancouver, BC
The Bogart and Bacall onscreen combo is undeniable -- the real treat here is the incredibly sharp banter between the two, with Bacall shining in particular. But the surrounding conflict felt oddly tame, more like a sideshow. Intentional or not, it didn't quite hit the dramatic beats it had in reach.
Screened as part of the Film Noir 2024 programming at The Cinematheque. I imagine it's the last one from the programming I'll get to. I wish I could've caught more of the series, but it was nice to "ditch the sunscreen", as they've been putting it, and indulge in a genre I have a great appreciation for.
