Perhaps my favorite nugget of movie trivia ever: all of the cast and crew contracted dysentery from contaminated water while filming on location in the Congo. Except Bogart and his drinking buddy Huston.

Bogart later said, “All I ate was baked beans, canned asparagus, and Scotch whiskey. Whenever a fly bit Huston or me, it dropped dead.”

John Huston and Humphrey Bogart on the set of The African Queen (1951)

Perhaps my favorite nugget of movie trivia ever: all of the cast and crew contracted dysentery from contaminated water while filming on location in the Congo. Except Bogart and his drinking buddy Huston.

“You simply take apart two copies of the book, paste the pages, and cross out what you don’t like. [The script] was done in a very short time, because it was based on a very fine book and there was very little for me to invent. It was a matter of sticking to the ideas of the book, of making a film out of a book…I tried to transpose Dashell Hammett’s highly individual prose style into camera terms – sharp photography, geographically exact camera movements, striking, if not shocking, setups.” – John Huston, on adapting The Maltese Falcon
