Shusli and I watched for the first time the classic movie, "African Queen," with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. I have to say it was one of the finest movies I have seen, considering the thing is almost 60-years-old.
The story is based in WWI in a section of Africa under control of the Germans. Bogart is a trader who goes up and down the river as well as does mining work when the war breaks out. Humphrey and Katherine wind up taking an adventure down the river and it is quite the adventure. I won't say more than that for any other folk who haven't seen the movie.
What impressed me most about the movie was that Humprey Bogart's character, Charlie Ohnert, was quite the gentleman. He helped Rosie (Katherine's character), didn't try to steal looks at her when she was half naked, let her have the shelter when it was raining, treated her well and kindly. Quite honestly, I think that men can take a good example of how a man should behave toward women from this movie.
Not only that, it was quite fun to watch.
