African Queen to be Restored

[DJH]

Who would have thought, the famous movie boat stuck next to a bloody Holiday Inn?

I hope this guys plans work out!

Charlie Allnut would be dismayed, and Rose would definitely be perturbed. It's a shame the article didn't have a photo of the Queen. It's amazing that the boat survived at all, really.

The only movie in which Humphrey Bogart played a Canadian. By the way I believe Katherine Hepburn was supposed to be English.

I saw it in person about five years ago. It needed restoration then, can't imagine the state it's in now.

This is a good read about the true story that inspired the film.
