My favourite Hepburn film to date is The African Queen. She and Bogart matched each other well.
REC has references to Audrey's films, not Katherine's.

Just last night I heard an interview on the BBC with Bogart's son, Stephen, whose mother was Lauren Bacall. Apparently some entrepreneurs purchased the Queen, refitted it, and are now offering tours in the Florida Keys. I believe the ship will be based, appropriately enough, in Key Largo. That's a decent film, but not my favorite of the Bogart/Bacall collaborations from those late-40's Warner Brothers days. That honor is reserved for To Have and Have Not. The 19-year-old Bacall just exudes sexuality throughout that film. It's not hard to see why the two of them ended up together, even though Bogey was twice her age.

One of the two BBC commentators mentioned he had never seen The African Queen, and his partner was shocked!
