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.

  • Great actors. Great story

    Very entertaining, and involving film. Like a good book, you can't put it down once you start it. Would recommend this for anyone who likes a good yarn. You can see the, (eventual) warmth which develops between the two leads. This carries the film to it's explosive end.
