Summaries

The Cuban misadventures of a Florida smuggler, at the time of the Cuban Revolution.

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.—<[email protected]>

During the Cuban Revolution, financially indebted Florida petty smuggler Sam Martin loses his ship to gun smugglers who force him to take a secret shipment to Cuba with the promise to return his boat to him as payment for services rendered.—nufs68
