This is a comedy, a love story, and a tale of adventure, and it is one of the most charming and entertaining movies ever made.

The action scenes are expertly handled, the film was a hit and Hollywood liked it so much that it remade it in 1975 as Rooster Cogburn, with John Wayne opposite Hepburn.

The African Queen is top flight entertainment, delightful, different, always interesting.

…not all old films are good films, but The African Queen still passes muster with vibrant flying colours in 2024…arguably the first modern action movie, this is no ersatz jungle cruise, but a bona fide classic..
