Henry V. A milestone Shakespearean film. Directing his first film, Laurence Olivier tried to bring a good performance of Shakespeare to a larger and more varied audience than would ever come to the theatre. Some highbrow critics found his film disappointing and unsophisticated the same unfair criticism leveled at more recent films of Shakespeare--but the audiences loved both the spectacular Battle of Agincourt and Olivier's acting. 1945.

To Have and Have Not. Lauren Bacall's first screen appearance was in this classic Bogart film. Ernest Hemingway and director Howard Hawks worked out changes in the plot of Hemingway's novel. Then William Faulkner wrote the screenplay and Hawks directed with his tongue in his cheek. The filming was spontaneous and the plot got lost, bolling down to Bogart and his tough, sexy dame accompanied by Hoagy Carmichael and his honky-tonk. 1944.
