In Africa during WW1, a gin-swilling riverboat owner/captain (Humphrey Bogart) is persuaded by a strait-laced missionary (Katharine Hepburn) to use his boat to attack an enemy warship.

Two of my favorite old-time performers, Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, are superb in this dramatic comedy. I was shocked when I learned this was not meant to be a funny movie! It has so much charm. Hepburn's character is delightful in contrast with Bogart's, and the ending left me laughing out loud.
