The African Queen

In adapting C.S. Forester’s popular novel, legendary filmmaker John Huston combined his masterful direction with the fabulous chemistry of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in their only onscreen pairing. This wartime romantic adventure sees the mismatched pair forced to travel together down a hazardous East African river. As they face dangers together, they both discover new sides to their personalities and before long their passionate dislike turns to love. For his role as disreputable river-boat captain, Bogart won a well-deserved Best Actor Oscar.
