American Insert 14" x 36"


John Huston directed this legendary classic that was adapted from a novel by C.S. Forester. Humphrey Bogart turned in an Oscar-winning performance as the gin-swilling captain of an old tramp steamer named the African Queen. Bogart's character becomes entangled with Katherine Hepburn's, the prim and proper sister of a deceased missionary. Charlie Allnut and Rose were the original Odd Couple, and their grand adventure became an instant Hollywood classic. This poster had been folded, had some creasing, pinholes, small tears and smudges. It has been professionally paper-backed to greatly minimize these defects and now looks terrific. The colors are bold and the piece has tremendous eye appeal.
