I know, everyone goes on and on about Casablanca (even Ingrid Bergman didn't understand the hype), but THIS is Bogart at his finest. He showed a range of emotion and vulnerability that were missing in other roles. This movie is in my top ten of all time, and it's always a pleasure to revisit it. It's difficult to sustain a movie when most of it just involves two people, but the acting, directing, and overall production was top-notch. The ending was also epic.
I happened upon the African Queen docked in Key Largo. I didn't know at the time that it was there, so I wasn't looking for it. I just sort of spotted it. That was an unexpected treat.
