From Wikipedia:

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1 April 1875 – 10 February 1932) was an English crime writer, journalist, novelist, screenwriter, and playwright, who wrote 175 novels, 24 plays, and numerous articles in newspapers and journals.

Over 160 films have been made of his novels. In the 1920s, one of Wallace's publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. He is most famous today as the co-creator of "King Kong", writing the early screenplay and story for the movie, as well as a short story "King Kong" (1933) credited to him and Draycott Dell. He was known for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, "The Four Just Men", "The Ringer", and for creating the Green Archer character during his lifetime.

From the IMDb.com:

Originally, in September 1963 ["To Have And To Hold"] was first released in Great Britain as second feature to "Tamahine". It was then repackaged as an episode for export to Europe and America as a TV series.

O'BSERVATIONS:

"To Have And To Hold" was based on a novel from 1927, "Breaking Point".

Since this was a movie in one country, but treated as an episode in the anthology series for other countries, I thought it best to keep it in the Borderlands.
