• Troubled Production: Filming in Africa didn't help the cast and crew. Katharine Hepburn actually wrote a book about it, aptly titled The Making of The African Queen: Or How I Went to Africa With Bogie, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind.
  • Among the many stories she relates, she mentions that Bogart and Huston were the only two members of the crew who didn't come down with diarrhea — they did this by drinking nothing but whiskey for the course of the filming. (Hepburn also revealed that she had to call frequent halts during her initial hymn-singing scenes so she could vomit into a bucket.)
