The African Queen

is this a good movie? It's on in 45 minutes here, and thinking of watching it - is it worthwhile? If I watch it I'll need to get my little girl fed and to bed, and our dinner on etc. first - and have a TV dinner!

ETA I have seen bits of it and it looks great. My hubby likes it (I think) so he should be happy to go along with this!

You watch it and tell us!

This is a great movie. I hope you enjoy watching it.

C. S. Forrester wrote the book. John Huston directed the film. Both Bogart and Hepburn starred... What do you think the odds are?

Haversack.

Aaaaaaaaaaaargh - it started 5 minutes ago - baby still up, still need to clear a space for the sofa to go which hubby is bringing home with him, and help him lift it.... video recorder not plugged in and don't know how to do it........

I think it's a lost cause

Book Lover,
Rent it - you and your husband will enjoy it, for both characters and plot - which is based on an obscure bit of Commonwealth history. C.S. Forester (the guy who wrote the HORNBLOWER series) wrote the novel in 1935, inspired by the tale of Lieutenant-Commander A. Spicer-Simson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spicer-Simson

thanks guys. It was on in the living room while I was running around and it really looked like my kind of film. I just cancelled my subscription to an online DVD rental Having a toddler - there just doesn't seem to be the time! I LOVE films though - one thing that saddens me is not getting to see nearly as many.

What does "net flick" mean?

Cheers

oh I see. I'm in the UK, doubt they would deliver. BUT I was a member to one of these, but had to cancel as I just wasn't getting time to watch enough films to justify it.

I never get tired of watching this film. It is one of the true greats of cinema; from characterization to directing to script, it is a joy to watch. Immerse yourself in this great film. You may want to buy a copy because I am sure you'll want to watch it again and again.
