Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. good condition VHS tape in worn sleeve. 1951 release. Color. After years of wooing director John Huston via good reviews, film critic James Agee was given a chance to write the screenplay for a Huston picture. Adapted from a novel by C.S. Forester, The African Queen stars Humphrey Bogart in his Oscar-winning portrayal of Charlie Allnut, the slovenly, gin-swilling captain of a tramp steamer called the African Queen , which ships supplies to small East African villages during World War I. Katharine Hepburn plays Rose Sayer, the maiden-lady sister of a prim British missionary, Rev. Samuel Sayer (Robert Morley). When Germans invade and Samuel dies, Allnut offers to take Rose back to civilization. She can't tolerate his drinking or bad manners; he isn't crazy about her imperious, judgmental attitude. However it does not take long before their passionate dislike turns to love. Together the disparate duo work to ensure their survival on the treacherous waters and devise an ingenious way to destroy a German gunboat. The African Queen may well be the perfect adventure film, its roller-coaster storyline complemented by the chemistry between its stars. The profound difficulties inherent in filming on location in Africa have been superbly documented by several books, including one written by Katharine Hepburn. Screenwriter Peter Viertel (who worked, on an uncredited basis, on the script of this film - assisting with some of the dialogue) incorporated some of the African Queen anecdotes in his roman a clef about a Huston-like director/adventurer, White Hunter, Black Heart. Hal Erickson, Rovi.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A card (approx. 15.5 x 10cm) signed by Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Katharine Hepburn. It has two written passages. One states 'Talked to the old boy in NY. He certainly is insane about the picture'. The other 'To Jeanie - oh dear me - a merry christmas & we wish we were saying it in person'. It is signed beneath three cherubic figures Ð Kate, Bogie, Betty. Lauren Bacall was known to friends and family as 'Betty.'The Jeanie referred to is Jeanie Sims who was assistant to the producer (John Huston) of The African Queen. Jeanie had become a personal friend of Bogart, Bacall and Hepburn.The 'old boy' is probably the director John Huston. No date - early 1950s. Further provenance is available on request. The card was discovered in a Limited Commemorative Edition set of The African Queen (obviously from a later date) in the effects of Jeanie's brother John. The set includes a video of the film, a book of the making of the film, a collector's certificate, miniature posters of the film and a screen adaptation for The African Queen. This set comes with the signed card. Good condition with one unobtrusive smudge. Signedes.
