A top of the line B production

I picked this movie out because Don Siegel never produces garbage in fact it is almost guaranteed quality what ever the budget...and this movie has a B grade budget.

Audie Murphy and Eddie Albert star in this 1958 rendition of Hemingway's To Have and Have Not. It is an intelligent well filmed maritime adventure. Eddie Murphy is superb as the charming villain--I have never seen a better one. Audie Murphy is boyishly handsome and earnest as the hard up boat captain.

Well worth the watch. No politically correct baggage or tiresome social messages just action and gun running to Cuba.

Trivia
Don Siegel says in his autobiography that Audie Murphy was so shy that it was difficult for him to perform the rehearsals with Pat Owens. But, according to Siegel, shyness did not prevent Murphy from carrying a gun in his belt while he and Siegel went out to eat in a restaurant - just in case they ran into any trouble.

Goofs
At 1 hour 19 min Hanagan falls, then kicked by Sam into the engine compartment. After Sam dispatches two thugs Hanagan is resting comfortable against the engine block. The engine should have been extremely hot, certainly hot enough to elicit some response from Hanagan.
