It would be difficult to cite a more readily likeable movie than this down river adventure starring two of Hollywood's best and brightest (Bogart and Hepburn), who have amzing chemistry throughout. Director John Huston and critic/screenwriter James Agee (who had a heart attack and was replaced by Peter Viertel, who wrote a book about this) adapted C. S. Forester's African WW I adventure. Bogart w0n his only Best Actor Oscar for this performance. I have stuck with the laserdisc since the DVD copies are not any better, a thorough remaster not yet having been undertaken. A true classic.
Follow Ups:
I HAD it on laserdisc..
Lost it somewher in my 10,000 Lps... (I think?)
I can't find it...
Anyway, waiting and waiting for a re-release of African Queen on DVD.
No luck.
Does anyone know what is the problem with the film?
I has not been available for a long time...
I HAVE Googled it and all I can find is that it is 'being remastered'.
By who, A chimpanzee with infinite time?
Anyway.. i deeply miss being able to watch this movie!!!
As it happen I look at it ( for the x time ) and it is all you have said and I would just put a name more on it: Robert Morley!
Short as may his role have been, I am still very fond of his presence.
Hepburn: "I like Sunday in England. It's so peaceful and quiet."Bogart: "I usually spend Sunday nursing a hangover."
I also like Bogart's "stomach" growling (obviously it was flatulence as evedinced by the "wind pills" ad in Morley's newspaper but the censorship in those pre "Animal House" times of course wouldn't countenence farting in a movie).
