The Queen is coming ... at last

The African Queen, my all-time favorite movie that has never been released on domestic DVD, is finally arriving in that format on March 23. It will come out in multiple versions, including a single-disc DVD ($19.99), a single-disc Blu-ray ($26.99) and also Limited Edition DVD ($34.99) and Blu-ray ($43.99) box sets. All of them will feature the new Embracing Chaos: Making The African Queen documentary, featuring interviews with Martin Scorsese and many others. The box sets also include an audio disc recording of the original Lux Radio Theater broadcast of The African Queen, a reproduction of Katharine Hepburn's out-of-print memoir The Making of The African Queen or How I Went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind, a Senitype film frame reproduction and postcard reproductions of images from the film.
