Is this a classic photo (by
Yousef Karsh), or what? And this is a classic movie which I'd never watched all the way through. Thoroughly entertaining and well acted by
Humphrey Bogart (African Queen 1951)(good year!) and
Ingrid Bergman (a wide ranging career whom I must have seen in
Murder on the Orient Express 1974). My wife and I lost count of the number of phrases that have crept into our everyday vernacular ('Play it again Sam', '...round up the usual suspects...', 'Here's looking at you, kid' etc). And to my surprise,
Claude Rains, who had played the corrupt Senator in
Mr. Smith goes to Washington (1939 - a great year for movies), also has a leading role.
Very watchable (with 1/2* deducted, in my opinion, for sets that looked like sets).
