Behind the Scenes on The African Queen with Katharine Hepburn and Jack Cardiff

Watching the must see documentary Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff (official site), which is currently out on home video and Blu-ray, reminded me I needed to get up a still of Jack Cardiff asap. Here we find Jack Cardiff on the set of John Huston’s, The African Queen, filming Katharine Hepburn with good old fashioned movie magic (in today’s time a similar scene like this might be done entirely on a sound stage and completed with digital effects).
