The Gun Runners
The Gun Runners
Remake of "To Have and Have Not" based on Hemingway short story. Plot reset to early days of Cuban revolution. A charter boat skipper gets entangled in gunrunning scheme to get money to pay off debts. Sort of a sea-going film noir with bad girl, smarmy villain, and the "innocent" drawn into wrong side of law by circumstances.

"The Gun Runners" is the third film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's 1930 novel To Have and Have Not. It’s a great story, so it’s all in the telling. Eddie Albert's portrayal of the antagonist is a standout performance, bringing life to the film.
