The African Queen at Library Film Series
The Greenville Public Library Third Floor Film Series will screen the
1951 adventure drama The African Queen in July. The film was directed
by John Huston and was based upon the eponymous 1935 novel by C.S.
Forester. It stars screen legends Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
The African Queen is set in German-controlled Africa at the outbreak of
World War I. It tells the story of a prim and proper missionary
(Hepburn) and a coarse and scruffy boat captain (Bogart) who must set
off down a wild river in a small steamer that's seen better days to
escape German forces. The film is at times harrowing and at times
hilarious as these two personalities clash on board their very small
boat.
Join us on Tuesday, July 2, at 6:30 p.m., as we screen The African
Queen. Free popcorn, candy, and soft drinks will be provided, and David
Nilsen will lead a brief discussion after the film. We hope to see you
there.
