The African Queen

John Huston’s much-loved adventure pits a prim missionary and a cynical river captain against German gunboats and natural hazards in East Africa in 1915. The African Queen is surrounded in legend: for the unlikely pairing of Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart (who won his only Best Actor Oscar for his performance), and the logistical nightmares and clashes of temperament which attended the shoot.
