If you loved The Man Who Would Be King, try The African Queen
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Huston, and they sit in Adventure / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Man Who Would Be King, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The African Queen is
War breaks out in a rather inconvenient location. A boozy riverboat captain is convinced by a missionary to take on a German warship. This unlikely duo somehow makes it work.
