Florence film fans can enjoy a special Valentine’s Day treat in the Screening Room at the public library. Pillar of Fire and the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library will present a free screening of director John Huston’s classic film, “The African Queen” (1951), on Tuesday, February 14, 2012, at 7 p.m.
“The African Queen” stars Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn as a drunken boat captain and a missionary who join forces against the Germans and forge an unlikely bond during a dangerous river journey. Nominated for four Academy Awards, the picture earned a Best Actor Oscar for Bogart, and today the movie is one of most beloved films of all time.
The Florence-Lauderdale Public Library is located at 350 N. Wood Ave. in downtown Florence, about 65 miles from Huntsville. For more information, call 256-764-6564 or visit the library’s website.
