The mission's clergyman was so overtaken with disappointment that he passes away. Shortly after his well-educated, snooty sister Rose buries her brother, she must leave on the only available transport, the 'African Queen' steamboat. The boat is manned by the ill-mannered bachelor, Charlie. Together they embark on a long difficult journey, without any comfort. Rose grows determined to assist in the British war effort and presses Charlie until he finally agrees and together they steam up the Ulana encountering an enemy fort, raging rapids, bloodthirsty parasites and an endlessly branching stream which always seems to lead them to what appear to be impenetrable swamps. Despite their opposing personalities, the two grow closer to each other and ultimately carry out their plan to take out a German warship.Special features: "Embracing chaos: making the African Queen" featurette.MPAA: Not rated.Named to the National Film Registry in 1994 by the Library of Congress.Academy Award winner, 1951: Best Actor (Humphrey Bogart)

Katz.MPAA rating: Rated G; Canadian Home Video rating: PG.Arrogant, irascible, and misogynistic professor of phonetics Henry Higgins believes that the accent and tone of one's voice determines a person's prospects in society. He boasts to a new acquaintance, Colonel Hugh Pickering--also an expert in phonetics--that he could teach any woman to speak so "properly" that he could pass her off as a duchess at an embassy ball. He chooses as an example a sassy, young working-class London flower seller from the slums, Eliza Doolittle, who has a strong Cockney accent. Can Higgins turn Eliza into a duchess? And will Eliza care to remain a lady for long? When the humble flower girl blossoms into the toast of London's elite, her teacher may have a lesson or two to learn himself.Winner, 1965 Academy Awards for Best Sound--George Groves; Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Color--Gene Allen, Cecil Beaton, George James Hopkins; Best Costume Design, Color--Cecil Beaton; Best Cinematography, Color--Harry Stradling Sr.; Best Music, Scoring of Music, Adaptation or Treatment--André Previn; Best Actor in a Leading Role--Rex Harrison; Best Director--George Cukor; Best Picture--Jack L.
