Trivia

  • Based on To Have and Have Not (1937 novel by Ernest Hemingway).
  • On a ten-day fishing trip, independent director Howard Hawks tried to persuade Ernest Hemingway to write him a script, but Hemingway was not interested in working in Hollywood.
  • Hawks insisted he could make a film from Hemingway's "worst story". Although Hawks had a high regard for Hemingway's works in general, he considered To Have and Have Not a "bunch of junk" and told Hemingway so.
  • Hemingway and Hawks worked on the screenplay during the remainder of the fishing trip.
