40-year-old virgin

The African Queen

(1951)
Ten years or more since I'd last seen this, I guess, at which point I'd finally admitted to myself that it's perhaps the most overrated John Huston film, the most overrated Bogart film, and the most overrated Hepburn film all sloshed into one. I thought it was time to give it another chance, and while I'll admit that it has its moments, I'll stand by the earlier assessment, and I suspect that this will be the last chance I give it.
