The boozing, smoking, cussing captain of a tramp steamer, Charlie Allnut, saves prim and proper Rose Sayer after her brother is killed by German soldiers at the beginning of World War I in Africa. Many quarrels later, the two set sail on the Ulonga-Bora in order to sabotage a German ship. Based on the 1935 novel by C.S. Forester, the wonderful combination of Hepburn and Bogie (who won an Oscar) makes this a thoroughly enjoyable blend of comedy and adventure. Later came the book (and Clint Eastwood film) White Hunter, Black Heart, which chronicled Peter Viertel's experiences observing Huston throughout the making of the picture.

    I first saw this film when I was 8 and have enjoyed it ever since. This is an example of what Hollywood is capable of -- greatness. The acting is wonderful. Hepburn, who is usually dull and boring (IMO) works perfectly as the stiff-upper-lipped mi...ssionary, and Bogart is, as always, wonderful as the hard as nails exterior yet soft as a down pillow interior postman. The barbed exchanges are a joy to watch. I do wish they'd release this on DVD, so I am a little too fanatical about that format.If you dislike this film, you are more than unlikely to watch anything literate -- especially if it's made before 1985. Oh well. Not everyone can read. If not, move on to your silly little action flicks. Read more Less
