Just saw the restored film yesterday at the Pacific Cinematique in Vancouver. A beautiful film - so glad new generations will get to experience it! The strength and the equality of the two characters is perfect and still relevant today.
There's a short video of the "Modern Africa Queen" :-) on my video-site on youtube, under Speak Swahili, Dammit! This old boat has seats salvaged from a Boeing 707 which crashed into Lake Victoria. It's a venerable vessel, moored at Wag Hill near Mwaza. It reminds me so much of the old Queen!
