Almost Live episode #222
Step back into Hollywood’s Golden Age with the Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of To Have and Have Not, originally broadcast on October 14, 1946.
Hosted by William Keighley, this hour-long radio drama reunited Hollywood legends Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall as Harry Morgan and Marie (Slim) Browning, recreating the chemistry that made their 1944 film debut unforgettable. The broadcast condenses the classic Warner Bros. film into a compelling 50-minute radio play, bringing the suspense, romance, and intrigue of the original to life through voice, music, and sound.
Based loosely on Ernest Hemingway’s novel, the story is set on the Caribbean island of Martinique during the Second World War. Harry Morgan, an American charter boat captain, is reluctantly drawn into the dangerous world of the French Resistance after agreeing to transport a fugitive. Along the way, he meets the enigmatic Marie Browning, and together they navigate a story of courage, loyalty, and unexpected romance.
