To Have and Have Not - Old Time Radio Intrigue

This week on The Shiver Show, we bring you romance and wartime intrigue with this 1946 Lux Radio Theater adaptation of To Have and Have Not, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. This old time radio classic reimagines Ernest Hemingway’s hard-edged novella with crackling dialogue, a new setting, and a romance between two strangers with nothing to lose.

This production features Humphrey Bogart reprising his iconic role as Harry Morgan, a gruff boat captain, and Lauren Bacall as Marie “Slim” Browning. Sparks fly between Bogie and Bacall, and the live audience loves it.

Mary and Greg talk about how Hemingway’s original novella got made into a film, and why the setting of the film and radio drama was changed from Depression-era Cuba to war-time Martinique. So pour yourself a Ti' Punch, dim the lights, and let The Shiver Show take you to a time when romance was as sideways glance.
