The African Queen - IMDB PROJECT - #218

By Jaymeetee on Oct 26, 11 12:20 PM

Not all plain sailing!

Some of the films on this project I've been looking forward to, some I've dread and some, like this one, I just felt I needed to 'cross off' the list.

The story of The African Queen is based around a missionary (Katherine Hepburn) who convinces a boozy riverboat captain (Humphrey Bogart) to use his boat to attack an enemy warship.

Now that sounds exciting, but what plays out is far from it. There are a few good moments of river based action, which I'm sure were hard to film. That plus the whole 'opposites attract' friendship that is cute but rather obvious right from the start, make for a film that is great for a Sunday afternoon to keep the elderly relatives happy.

Watch this if, like me you enjoy crossing off classic films for the sake of it!

IMDB Fact: 'The African Queen,' built in England in 1912 was used by the British East Africa Company from 1912 to 1968 to shuttle passengers and cargo across Lake Albert (on the border between Uganda and Belgian Congo). It is now located in Key Largo.
