The “African Queen” (1951) is the tale of two companions with
mismatched, “opposites attract” personalities who develop
an implausible love affair, as they travel together downriver in
Africa around the start of World War I. The acting of the two
principal actors, Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, is
some of the strongest ever registered on film. Bogart portrays
an unshaven, drinking and smoking captain of a tramp
steamer. Hepburn plays a prissy and proper, but ambitious
and unorthodox WWI-era African missionary spinster.
