The African Queen is top flight entertainment, delightful, different, always interesting. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Five minutes in, and cowriter-director John Huston has already set the stage for something besides your typical '50s jungle-bwana boogie. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- A ripping, gripping yarn, a surprisingly erotic love story and, as it happens, a premonition of Herzog's Fitzcarraldo. Full Review

Hollywood classics don't get much more classic or Hollywood than THE AFRICAN QUEEN... -- Grade: A-

Rating: 3/4 -- Humphrey Bogart finally won his Best Actor Oscar. It's an amusing performance, though it doesn't compare to his work in High Sierra, Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, In a Lonely Place, The Caine Mutiny and a handful of other indelible turns. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- [A] grand, propulsive and plumly-restored slice of Technicolor derring-do. Full Review

Bogart is hilariously crusty as a hard-drinking river rat who journeys downriver on a rickety steamer with a prim missionary... -- Grade: A

Product Description:

The boozing, smoking, cussing captain of a tramp steamer, Charlie Allnut, saves prim and proper Rose Sayer after her brother is killed by German soldiers at the beginning of World War I in Africa. Many quarrels later, the two set sail on the Ulonga-Bora in order to sabotage a German ship. Based on the 1935 novel by C.S. Forester, the wonderful combination of Hepburn and Bogie (who won an Oscar) makes this a thoroughly enjoyable blend of comedy and adventure. Later came the book (and Clint Eastwood film) White Hunter, Black Heart, which chronicled Peter Viertel's experiences observing Huston throughout the making of the picture.
