About the event:
In WWI East Africa, a gin-swilling Canadian riverboat captain is persuaded by a strait-laced English missionary to undertake a trip up a treacherous river and use his unarmed boat to attack a German gunship.
Perfectly cast, smartly written, and beautifully filmed, this 1951 film remains thrilling, funny, and effortlessly absorbing even after more than half a century’s worth of adventure movies have borrowed liberally from its creative DNA.
Come watch it with us.
