RED ALERT! To Have and Have Not is at risk of being lost forever!

Every year, the Library of Congress adds 25 films to their National Film Preservation files. These films are safely stored and preserved in their original versions, being protected by specialists. 

To Have and Have Not is still not on the files. It is a 67-year-old movie, made on utterly fragile reels. It depicts not only a great novel by Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway, but it represents the beginning of one of Hollywood’s most famous love stories. The main stars, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, are both Academy Award winners and figure on the American Film Academy list of 50 biggest stars of all time. 

Let’s not let their best work together crumble to ashes.

Send an e-mail to dross@loc.gov today with the name of the movie and the year of its release. “To Have and Have Not” (1945) 

If you want to plea for another movie you love, please do submit up to 50 nominations. Here is a list of over 500 movies at risk of being lost forever. 

You can also mail your nominations to:

National Film Registry
Library of Congress
Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation
19053 Mt. Pony Road
Culpeper, VA 22701
Attn: Donna Ross

Please, let’s not let these films be lost forever. It’s in the hands of the younger generations to keep the past alive.

I don’t care how many followers I have or whether or not you like my blog, please, reblog and spread the word. This is terribly important to the Classic Film Community.

Do your part!

This movie is special to me, owing to the fact that it was the first Bogie & Bacall film I ever saw. :’)
