"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Humphrey Bogart plays Sam Spade in John Huston's perennial classic. "I hope you're not letting yourself be influenced by the guns these pocket-edition desperadoes are waving around, because I've practiced taking guns from these boys before; so we'll have no trouble there." (1941)

Harry Morgan (Humphrey Bogart) is the owner of a cabin boat called the Queen Conch. With his shipmate Eddie (Walter Brennan), he takes wealthy tourists on fishing cruises off the Caribbean island of Martinique. It is WWII and with France under Nazi occupation, Martinique is Vichy-controlled. Harry is approached by Gerard (Marcel Dalio), who is a member of the French Resistance and the owner of the hotel where Harry lives. He would pay for Harry to smuggle an important Free French leader into Martinique but Harry refuses. Meanwhile, a newcomer has arrived in the room across from Harry - a sultry, restless woman named Marie (Lauren Bacall) who strikes up a flirtatious friendship with him. She soon finds herself stranded without money when her provider is killed by stray gunfire in a police raid at the hotel bar. Harry agrees to help her leave the island, but to raise the money his only option is to offer his services to Gerard and provide the boat to pick up the resistance fighter, a situation that puts him in extreme danger.
