We have a brand new exclusive clip from the upcoming highly anticipated release The African Queen, which makes its long-awaited debut on DVD and Blu-ray on March 23. Click below for our exclusive special feature clip, an eight-minute video featuring filmmaker Martin Scorsese and others talking about the restoration of this 1951 classic film, which stars Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
Legendary director John Huston's treasured romantic adventure stars the incomparable Humphrey Bogart as hard-drinking boat captain Charlie Allnut--a role that won him his only Academy Award (Best Actor, 1951)--and renowned actress Katharine Hepburn as missionary Rose Sayer in a tale of two disparate people thrown together by fate and drawn together by love.

Includes on-camera interviews with notable Hollywood icons, critics and crew members from the film including Martin Scorsese, Tony Huston, Richard Schickel and more, plus never-before-seen archival images and home movie footage provided by the estate of cinematographer Jack Cardiff.
