****

Delightful film starring Humphrey Bogart as a self-reliant fishing boat captain in Martinique shortly after the fall of France.  Ernest Hemingway's novel is used primarily as a springboard to retell Casablanca, as Bogie gets mixed up with the French resistance, Vichy police, and a woman -- Lauren Bacall, in this case, making her screen debut (and shooting sparks all over the place).  Fast-paced dramatic script, leavened with considerable humor and fabulous dialogue.  Also with Walter Brennan in a terrific performance as Bogart's good-natured alcoholic pal and Hoagy Carmichael as a piano player.  Written by Jules Furthman and William Faulkner.
