The African Queen - Bogart and Hepburn at the Strand the Day after Thanksgiving

 

We like to watch a classic film after all that turkey, and this is a true classic directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in roles they were born to play.

The earthy, drunken captain of a tramp steamer helps the prim and proper sister of a missionary escape Africa after her brother dies. Along the way the pair gets past their differences and fall in love, but must contend with a tenacious German gunboat in order to escape with their lives.

John Roquet presents ACROSS THE UNIVERSE

 

Director, Julie Taymor, uses the music of the Beatles to create a revolutionary rock musical that re-imagines America in the turbulent late-1960s, a time when battle lines were being drawn at home and abroad. When young dockworker Jude (Jim Sturgess) leaves Liverpool to find his estranged father in America, he is swept up by the waves of change that are re-shaping the nation. Jude falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood), a rich but sheltered American girl who joins the growing anti-war movement in New York's Greenwich Village. As the body count in Vietnam rises, political tensions at home spiral out of control and the star-crossed lovers find themselves in a psychedelic world gone mad. 

 

With a cameo by Bono, Across the Universe is "the kind of movie you watch again, like listening to a favorite album." (Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES)

 

Advance tickets are available for $9 at Highway 61 Coffeehouse. 

 

Tickets at the door will be $10.
