Katherine Hepburn only drank water throughout The African Queen production as a protest against John Huston and Humphrey Bogart's alcoholism. However, most of the cast and crew became sick from the water and only Bogart and Huston were unaffected because they only drank whiskey.

George Lucas admitted in 1977 that he thought 2001 was a better movie than his Star Wars: “Stanley Kubrick made the ultimate science fiction movie, and it is going to be very hard for someone to come along and make a better movie, as far as I’m concerned. On a technical level, [Star Wars] can be compared, but personally I think that 2001 is far superior.”
amen to that--one of the many things that impressed me so much about the film is that nearly thirty minutes pass from the opening until the first word of dialogue--the images are so powerful, so enormous, Kubrick wants you to be caught up in the experience rather than follow the typical Hollywood formula of telling you what's happening--so many things about the film were simply brilliant--then and now an epic
