Tom: Meanwhile, in The African Queen, Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn pick leeches off each other.

The African Queen was a great comedy with film legends Bogart and Hepburn; it garnered Bogie’s only Academy Award (beating out Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire, which also starred [get ready for it] Vivien Leigh, who, by the way, picked up two Oscars in her lifetime: one for Streetcar and one for [again, get ready] Gone with the Wind. Like I says, it all comes together…). Anyway, there’s a great scene in The African Queen where Bogie and Katharine Hepburn have to pull their boat through the shallow marsh, and they get attacked by leeches. Hence the reference. If you ever by chance happen upon Katharine Hepburn's The Making of The African Queen: Or How I Went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall, and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind, it'll do you good to at least look through it; there are a lot of great anecdotes about filming, and about Bogie and Lauren Bacall and John Huston.
