Description
Although it is an undisputed classic of Hollywood cinema, The African Queen has been very difficult to see for decades (except in a very poor video transfer). This beautiful Paramount restoration means you can now watch Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn battle leeches, mosquitoes and the German army in all the vivid detail John Huston originally intended. Print introduced by Andrea Kalas, VP of Archives, Paramount Pictures.
