The Gun Runners, a 1958 film directed by Don Siegel, is the second remake of To Have and Have Not (1944) and stars Audie Murphy in the Humphrey Bogart role and Everett Sloane in Walter Brennan's part as the alcoholic sidekick, although Sloane's interpretation was less overtly comedic than Brennan's.
