To Have and to Hold is a 1951 British second feature ('B') romantic drama film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Avis Scott, Patrick Barr and Robert Ayres. It was one of the few "soap opera"-type films Hammer produced, and did not fare well at the box office. It is in fact today considered a lost film. Production began on June 26, 1950, shot back-to-back with Hammer's next film The Dark Light. The screenplay was by Reginald Long based on the play by Lionel Browne. Long co-wrote the film's theme song "Midsummer Day" with music director Frank Spencer.
