ABOUT | The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) will continue its monthly residency at Metrograph on Saturday, January 12th, 2019, with a special screening of The African Queen, with the son of the film’s stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Stephen Bogart in-person to present the film.
ABOUT THE AFRICAN QUEEN | One of Huston’s best-loved films and one of the most entertaining odd-couple pictures ever made, this action-comedy-romance, shot in Uganda and the Congo teams Humphrey Bogart as a crass Canadian supply boat skipper and Katharine Hepburn as his bluestocking cargo, a prudish missionary who he’s transporting through c. 1914 German East Africa when war breaks out and all hell breaks loose. In the face of death, the gin-guzzling captain and the brittle socialite form a touchy alliance that gradually softens towards unlikely love, all while heading towards a humdinger of a climax with torpedo speed.
