KENT STATE UNIVERSITY MUSEUM & 
CLEVELAND CINEMATHEQUE 
SHOW "THE AFRICAN QUEEN" APRIL 8, 9 & 10
On the 60th anniversary of the movie's release, 
steam down the Ulanga River in a newly released 35mm color restoration 
with Kate, Bogey and their boat African Queen! 
 
The African Queen (USA, 1951, dir. John Huston) is a delightful
adventure-romance set in central Africa during World War I.  Humphrey Bogart
plays Charlie Allnut, a coarse, gin-soaked riverboat captain who escorts
prim British missionary Rose Sayer (played by Katharine Hepburn) downriver
through natural hazards and enemy German strongholds.  Bogey's great
performance won him his only Oscar.  The movie also garnered Oscar
nominations for Hepburn as Best Actress, Huston for Best Director and
co-writers James Agee and Huston for Adapted Screenplay.  
WHERE:  Cleveland Institute of Art (CIA), 11141 East Blvd. (in University
Circle), Cleveland.

Harris, director of supporting programming for the Kent State University
Museum's exhibition, "Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen."  For
