Sunday staring at 730 TCM will be hosting a Humphrey Bogart 24 hour marathon.


The little boat in African Queen was used by Hemingway on his last safari.

That would be fun if I could stay up for the whole thing. Interesting info about the boat. The movie came out in 51 + his last safari was in 56. Thanks for the heads up on the marathon!

Watching The African Queen on TMC right now. Love that movie, especially since it was colorized!

I enjoy it. First time I watched it drinking gin.

That does get you in the mood. I remember Robert Ruark writing about his Uncle Rob that was a sea captain + loved his toddy. He said that if Miss Hepburn had thrown his gin over the side she would be
the 1st to follow.

Oh, please don't say that. No movie was ever improved by the amateurish vandalism of "colorizing". Even Ted Turner gave up doing it and finally embraced classic movies as they're supposed to be seen - as they were made.

"The African Queen" was filmed in Technicolor from the beginning. It's proudly emblazoned across all the movie posters.
