 African Queen :
"Adapted from a novel by C.S. Forester, The African Queen stars
Humphrey Bogart in his Oscar-winning portrayal of Charlie Alnut - the
slovenly, gin-swilling captain of a tramp steamer called The African
Queen, which ships supplies to small East African villages during World
War I. Katherine Hepburn plays Rose Sayer, the straight-laced spinster
of a prim British missionary, Brother Samual (Robert Morley).
When invading Germans kill the missionary and level the village, Aunt
offers to take Rose back to civillisation. She can't tolerate his
drinking or bad manners; he isn't crazy about her imperious, judgemental
attitude. However, it does not take long before their passionate dislike
turns to love. Together the disparate duo work to ensure their survival
on the treacherous waters and devise an ingenious way to destroy a
German gunboat.
The African Queen may well be the perfect adventure film, its
rollercoaster storyline complemented by the chemistry between its stars.
Along with masterful direction by John Huston, the wonderful script
makes this a rare treat indeed."

Love Among the Ruins:
"Olivier and Hepburn in a hilarious George Cukor Classic!
In the prim, proper world of upper class England, an aging beauty is
accused of having seduced and abandoned a man young enough to be her
grandson – and now he is suing her for £50,000 for breach of promise!
She turns to the greatest barrister in the Empire to defend her, a man
she seduced and abandoned some forty years earlier, who’s remained
hopelessly in love with her ever since!.
It’s a witty and wonderfully poignant romantic comedy, starring two of
the greatest performers of our time, Hepburn and Olivier, under the
direction of Hollywood legend George Cukor (My Fair Lady, The
Philadelphia Story). Winner of 6 Emmy ® Awards!"
