Film Club: To Have and Have Not (PG)

But when a Resistance client is shot before he can pay, Harry agrees to help hotel owner Gerard smuggle two fighters to the island. Harry is further swayed by Slim, (Lauren Bacall, electric in one of the most startling debuts in film history) and when the police take his friend Eddie (Walter Brennan) hostage, he is forced to fight for the Resistance.
