It is essentially a two hander with Bogart and Hepburn utterly magnificent - possibly both their finest roles. But Morley is great in his early role too, as Hepburn's brother the Reverend. My two favourite Bogart films--The African Queen and the Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Bogart didn't have the classic good looks of other stars, but the camera still adores him. Yes 2 of my favourite films and Bogart and Hepburn were magnificent in the African Queen. When I lived just off Portobello Road and was going for an early walk I suddenly heard this recognizable voice commenting on some antiques in a shop..Katherine Hepburn with another lady.
Wyot	Wonderful, wonderful film. I've not seen it for a few years will put it on soon.
JK2006	Another of my favourite films - To Have And Have Not - watching them falling in love.
Al Gershwin	Sadly he died when 57 - he smoked and drank a fair bit. Met his last wife, Lauren Bachall, on a film set; she - 19; he - 44. Here's a pic of them arriving in London, in 1951. images.app.goo.gl/Tdau1EjPYpaMRHer8
JK2006	Imagine being young and seeing this film for the first time. It must boost your hope for humanity - and the makers of film, music, theatre, TV... We can still do it, with this legacy behind us.
