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.


Recently restored in 4k.


Tickets are $9 in advance at Highway 61 Coffeehouse, and $10 at the door.



And.. the popcorn is free!
