Additional InformationThe boozing, smoking, cussing captain of a tramp steamer, Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart), saves prim and proper Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn) 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 Bogart (who won an Oscar for his portrayal of the slovenly Captain Allnut) 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.
