Pros: Bogey and Hepburn and the African Queen Cons: None
Humphrey Bogart proved a versatile actor, starting with bit parts in Bowery Boy adventures and B movies and moving all the way up to leading man in Hollywood features. In between he played gangsters, killers, detectives, soldiers, and, on more than one...
Pros: Bogart and Hepburn, screenplay Cons: Film quality a little tacky! Only in VHS.
Are you in the mood for a river adventure? How about a story about heroism during war, or beating impossible odds? Better yet, since it is almost Valentine’s Day, how about a love story? This movie has it all, with two of the most wonderful...
Just as World War One was starting, Rose Sayer helps her missionary brother in central Africa, and Charlie Allnut ran a beat-up riverboat in the area. She is prim, proper, spinsterly, refined, and a bit judgmental. He is all rough edges and unrefined ...
Pros: A well written movie classic Cons: No mega special effects (per my 9 year old)
I rented The African Queen movie from my friendly neighbor Blockbuster Video store a few weeks ago after reading a review written by fellow epinioner Nick Charles.
Nick Charles’ review brought back many warm memories of my youth when I...
Pros: casting, direction, script, characters, story Cons: stereotypes, character inconsistencies, dubious coincidences
One of the most popular of all classic Hollywood films, The African Queen was also the only movie which paired Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn together as the leads. The top-ranked American Film Institute Actor and Actress, respectively,...
Pros: Hepburn, Bogart, AND Morely! Cons: They couldn't make a sequel
Katherine Hepburn proves once again that she can excel in any role they care to give her. Not only that, she can show any male lead (regardless of age or Oscars) where the bear poops in the woods. She has done it with Spencer Tracy (a permanent...
Pros: Bogart, Hepburn, cinematography, writing, suspense. Cons: A bit stereotypical. Possible mild racism. Like all movies, it ended.
Humphrey Bogart won his first and only Oscar as Charlie Allnut in John Huston’s classic adventure “The African Queen”. As the captain of the steamboat The African Queen, and regular mail deliverer to Rose Sawyer (Katherine Hepburn) and her brother, he...
Pros: Bogie & Hepburn at their best! Excellent acting! Cons: It DEFINATELY makes you itch!
The question was bound to come eventually. The other day a friend asked me, "If you had to watch the same movie over and over for the REST of your life, which one would it be?"
After thinking it over long and hard, only one movie...
It’s the year 1914 and WWI is in full swing. We see early some of the horrors that accompany war. The Germans have invaded Africa including the little village where Rosie (Katharine Hepburn) and her brother minister to the natives. The brother is hit...
Pros: Great suspense twined with a love story Cons: You wonder if they'll ever get out of the muck alive
The African Queen with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn is a true romantic movie, which is saying a lot considering how the two major characters, Rose and Charlie ended up together.
The movie begins in a church, where Rose is an accomplice with...
No, this isn't a movie about Little Richard, it's the action-adventure tale of two people navigating their way down a treacherous African river. It's also one of the best-known and best-made films in Hollywood history, starring Humphrey Bogart as a...
Pros: A very good movie for all to see. Cons: How can you find fault with this one?
They are the most unlikely pair ever put together and they are pure magic on the screen. No one should miss Charlie and Rose riding the African Queen down a treacherous African River during World War I. It's a solid classic. Bogart and Hepburn are...
Pros: Can really see the great acting of Katherine Hepburn Cons: cinematography, but it was fine for the day
An English woman and her brother are on a mission from England in Africa, and receive the mail from Charlie, the pilot of the African Queen, a boiler-operated boat about the size of those African Adventure in Disneyland/World. When Rose's brother dies...
Pros: Action, romance, Bogey and Hepburn. What more could you want? Cons: None
I have to admit, though I've heard how great this film is over the years, I had never felt compelled to actually sit down and watch it. I love Hepburn and Bogart, but I thought the film was about something completely different. What I'm not sure, but I...
