Garfield stars in this terrific filming of Hemingway's To Have and To Have Not. It is much more faithful than Faulkner's re-working of Hemingway's original novel-Hemingway is said to have liked this version better. Garfield is a boat captain almost without means. He is desparate for money and agrees to transport illegal cargo. Events spin out of control and push him beyond his breaking point. Terrific movie. One of Garfield's last efforts.
