a couple of scrawny cast-aways
but I said Katherine Hepburn and
Humphrey Bogart and you read their
names in lights all bright and gone.
Their teeth huge white in those soiled
faces, the one driven mad by insects
the other by leeches with those clean
underbreeches weeks gone in East
Africa fighting their private war
and winning in the end. Oh my friends,
how happy this morality tale makes
me, so comforting this end.

Aww, I love this movie. There are some neat stories about the filming of it in Lauren Bacall's autobiography.
Me too!
