"An adventure in obsession..."
- Director: Clint Eastwood
- Genre: Drama, Action & Adventure
- Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures
- Subtitled | Duration: 135 Mins
|
Overview:
Clint Eastwood's ambitious film is a thinly veiled account of the making of John Huston's The African Queen, already well documented in books by Katharine Hepburn and screenwriter Peter Viertel. As "Huston", Eastwood is just marvellous - aristocratic, bombastic and so obsessed with hunting and killing an elephant (not a crime but a sin in the biblical sense) that his movie-making is left on the back burner. He's a monster with enormous charm and charisma. Beautifully filmed on location in Zimbabwe, with decent representations of Bogart, Bacall, Hepburn and producer Sam Spiegel, the movie has pace, drama, a genuine sense of adventure and an astutely critical eye for the vestiges of British imperialism.
