Here’s a two-part look at the restoration process behind the 3/23 Blu-ray and DVD
release of John Huston’s The African Queen starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
Also available in Blu-ray and DVD
as a commemorative box set with an “all-new hour long ‘making of’ feature with never-before-seen images and commentary,” an audio CD with the original The African Queen radio broadcast starring Humphrey Bogart and Greer Garson, Katharine Hepburn’s out-of-print memoir The Making of The African Queen or How I Went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind, plus some assorted collectible gewgaws and knickknacks.
Part 2 after the jump.

I’m glad this is happening. The African Queen is a classic for good reason, as there’s more to it than meets the eye.
Good news indeed, though it pains me to think of all the lower profile movies that have disappeared or are disappearing. The studios don’t seem to be too interested in their heritage unless they can make money off of it.
