CFS Film Screening: The African Queen

Join Canterbury Film Society for our Monday night screening of The African Queen (John Huston • 1951 • 105 mins • USA • PG)

In WWI East Africa, a gin-swilling riverboat captain (Humphrey Bogart) is persuaded by a strait-laced missionary (Katharine Hepburn) to undertake a trip up a treacherous river and use his boat to attack a German gunship. "This is a comedy, a love story, and a tale of adventure, and it is one of the most charming and entertaining movies ever made." (Pauline Kael, New Yorker)

The Canterbury Film Society offers weekly screenings of top-quality films – arthouse, classic, cult, documentary, world cinema and more – on the big screen. We screen on Monday night at 7.30pm, doors open 7.00pm with drinks and home-baked food for purchase.
