The African Queen
The African Queen (1951), John Huston:
A family favorite of Emily and her mom and I had never seen it, so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to do so (yes, this was two weeks ago. I'm falling behind).
I had no idea Humphrey Bogart could be filmed in color, but there he was, and after my unpleasant experience with Katharine Hepburn, she proved enjoyable.
As the grandfather of the Indiana Jones movies, there's no way I couldn't love this. Bogart and Hepburn play their roles with relish in the tropical surroundings and hiding from the Germans. Thumbs up for the hippos.
