The African Queen reigns supreme! 'The African Queen' is an acknowledged classic of the first order.

Bogart and Hepburn have a film chemistry that film makers must have drooled over. They are magnificent together. When one considers that the two of them - confined, as they were, to a boat in the middle of nowhere - managed to produce a movie that grips the mind and keeps one on the edge of one's seat for the duration of the film, only 'boggles the mind'.
This film deserves every award it received along with the actors. It is, simply, a marvellous movie!

A classic A movie featuring 2 of the greatest stars of all time. A pleasure to watch and enjoyable throughout.
