hi
I was watching “To Have and Have Not” last night, and I hadn’t seen it in so long, I’d forgotten there’s a whistle playing in the closing scene. it looks like a Bb, but does anyone have any idea what make it is?

I posted in this regard about a year and a half ago. I was amazed that there was a pennywhistle back then that was not a Generation!!!
My fleeting recollection would have that whistle much smaller–perhaps a D or an E-Flat? The post was in the form of a trivia type question–Which Bogart film featured a Latin Band in which a Pennywhistle was played? Meanwhile, Lauren Bacall was at her most beautiful in that one, for sure. I believe Hoagy Carmichael played piano?
In my mind’s eye, I am seeing a whistle that looked a lot like a Tully!!
Great flick, all the way around, especially for the C & F crowd.

And I believe Walter Brennan utters those immortal words “Was you ever stung by a dead bee?”

With the technology available to us today, I guess someone could buy the DVD, bleed off that part of the sound track and figure out the instrument’s key by ear. I betting that that someone won’t be me.
I’d rather spend my time recalling Lauren Bacall at her finest!!
So, we know that Bogey thwarted the Axis Powers at least once in Morocco and once on Martinique. Does anyone recall a third such cinematic victory in either Central or South America, with Sidney Greenstreet as the bad guy? I have a dim recollection in this regard, but cannot pull up the name of the movie.

[u]Across the Pacific[/u], perhaps?
Bogart plays a U.S. officer of artillery who is court martialled in disgrace (in 1941) and who leaves the country. He gets a job offer in central America with a stop off in Panama. While there he discovers Japanese plot to attack the Panama Canal along with the Pearl Harbor attack.
Thank you jsluder!!
My ever diminishing recollection is vindicated once again.
Apologies to the Board for the tangent into OT!! It won’t happen again.

I belive it was “was you ever bit by a dead bee?”
You are correct; although Lauren Bacall does go back and forth between bite and sting in that piece of dialogue. The chemistry, the dialogue, what a movie! oh, and, of course, the superb whistle playing (don’t want to go OT Tom).
