LAUREN BACALL TRIBUTE
August 29, 2018  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 6:00 a.m. ET

 

Lauren Bacall is the recipient of today’s “Summer Under the Stars” TCM salute – and it’s very easy to see why she deserves the honor. In fact, you can pinpoint, and revisit, the moment, by tuning in at 9:30 a.m. ET, when she stars opposite Humphrey Bogart in 1944’s To Have and Have Not (pictured). When director Howard Hawks began filming the two of them on the set in 1943, Bogart was 44 years old. Betty Bacall was 19. And by the time filming was over, the two were throwing sparks more than just onscreen. Hawks directed them again in 1946’s classic The Big Sleep (8 p.m. ET), in which Bogart played gumshoe Philip Marlowe. And at 10 p.m. ET, Bogart and Bacall can be seen yet again, this time directed by John Huston, in 1948’s Key Largo.
