To Have and Have Not (Warner Brothers, 1944).
<B>To Have and Have Not (Warner Brothers, 1944).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Slim Hawks, wife of movie director Howard Hawks, was reading the March 1943 edition of <I>Harper's</B></I> magazine. On the cover, she saw a young model with a totally intriguing look and called her husband imploring him to arrange a screen test for the 19-year-old. The result of that test led Hawks to cast Lauren Bacall as Marie Browning in <I>To Have and Have Not</B></I>, and after meeting Humphrey Bogart, one of Tinsel Town's most famous couples paired both in life and on the screen. This lovely poster with its subtle colors and effective tagline, "...Bogart...with his kind of woman...", promotes a film that delivers one of the best 'clinch' scenes in film history. This example remains in terrific condition, partly because it did not have to have a snipe removed from the smaller credit section as is so common with this title. There are minor pinholes and cross fold separations. A terrific job of linen-backing with minimal airbrush returns a poster with great appeal. Very Fine+ on Linen. *****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
