Matt Roush says...

Humphrey Bogart won his sole Oscar as grizzled skipper Charlie Allnut in John Huston’s exhilarating 1951 adventure. The grand Katharine Hepburn co-stars as missionary spinster Rose, who joins him on a perilous journey down an African river to sabotage a German steamer during World War I. What better way to kick off TCM’s Star of the Month tribute to Bogie, with movies airing each Thursday in September. Queen is followed at 10/9c by Bogart’s iconic interpretation of gumshoe Sam Spade in 1941’s The Maltese Falcon. (His take on Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe in The Big Sleep from 1946 airs early Friday at 8 am/7c.)
