Bogart, The African Queen, Bold Venture

Here is a bit of history of the making of the movie "The African Queen"


The African Queen was filmed mostly on location in Africa, where almost all the cast and crew suffered from malaria and dysentery—except director John Huston and Bogart, neither of whom ever drank any water. Hepburn, ever the urologist's daughter, disapproved of the two men's drinking and piously drank gallons of water each day to spite them. She wound up so sick with dysentery that, even months after she returned home, the famously vigorous actress was still ill.

Not many know that Humphrey Bogart and his wife Lauren Bacall starred in their own radio show, "Bold Venture"
