Synopsis
Three movie greats join forces in this classic film, which reveals
the fabulous chemistry of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in
their only onscreen pairing. Bogart won a well-deserved Best Actor
Oscar for his role as disreputable riverboat captain Charlie, who
forms an unlikely alliance with Hepburn's straight-laced Rose.
Under the masterful direction of John Huston, THE AFRICAN QUEEN is
based on the book by C S Forester. The wartime romantic adventure
sees Charlie and Rose forced to travel together down a hazardous
East African river. As they face dangers and devise an ingenious way
to destroy an enemy gunboat, both discover new sides to their
personalities and before long their passionate dislike turns to
love.
