Two people as different as differnt can be; ride the African Queen down the river and out of the jungle while battling the boat, the elements, the Germans, and their disperate views of life. A great adventure.

Pure, simplistic and absolutely tremendous, The African Queen is an uproarious otherwise a bit stale film if not for Bogart and Hepburn's enthusiastic performances. Huston provides a decent catalogue of amazing shots of the river and surroundings, and he manages to hold it all together. Classic and stand-out comedy.

It's an amazing testament to Bogart and Hepburn's acting abilities that this film works as well as it does. It's literally the two of them taking a boat cruise down an African river. Sure, there's some hiccups along the way, but it never feels that tense.

The soundtrack feels a bit inappropriate at times and the story bogs down quite a bit after a strong start. Still, a delightfully grubby Bogart and slowly defrosting ice queen Hepburn save the film from becoming a slog.

The on-screen tension and emotion between Hepburn and Bogart is first class, and almost the best I've seen in terms of romantic cinema roles for these two. Generally Bogart's love interests are secondary to the plot, but here it fits into the adventure perfectly and the way that Hepburn and himself really got into their roles made this into a good film. The plot is arguably cheesy, unrealistic and full of holes, but that I found was part of the fun, and indeed its charm.

I must say there are a few things in here that are beyond cheesy, mostly related to the terrible special effects (those mosquitos!) A few times I cracked up like I was watching a terrible B-movie, which didn't do anything good for the mood. But where this works is Bogart and Hepburn - their acting is so damn great, and their relationship so sweet, that I can forgive a few problems here and there. And from the river reeds scenes to the end is just outright excellent, ending on a high note.

"Ze penalty for not answering to zis court is death by hanging" - "Who Cares ?" Haha. Bogie's charismatic presence as the gin-swilling Allnut, smt I would've gladly paid to see back then, kept my attention throughout and even though it's weighed down by romantic bits which felt completely forced, TAQ is an enjoyable adventurous tale, obviously flawed, yet altogether lovable and better than similar subsequent films it has heavily influenced. It's hard to imagine some people hating this film.

A goofy little movie that leaves me perplexed by its reputation. The film feels like an excuse to put its stars together, and despite some solid chemistry and decent humor, the entire escapade feels unjustified. I don't know if the public of 1951 couldn't handle any narrative hook that wasn't a love story, but I don't think it particularly works here, especially as there's nothing really romantic of the two falling in love for no other reason than solidarity. Breezy, but forgettable.

A light-hearted mixture of adventure and romance. The pacing is brisk, the action comes thick and fast, and both Hepburn and Bogart are as good as they always are. Bogey in particular gives an amusingly shambolic performance; you can virtually smell the gin and BO coming out of your TV screen. That said, the romance does feel a little contrived, and it gets a tad silly here and there. It's fun, but not as great as I expected it to be.

Nice to see a bit of on-location Africa in technicolor (though some boat scenes are overlays), but otherwise, the flagship of industrial romance adventures gives me very little joy or excitement. It's extremely corny, and I find Bogart and Hepburn vapid and unlikable.

For a film that's essentially just Bogart and Hepburn alone together on a boat, I'd expected a lot more... I dunno, pizzazz. Despite their best efforts, it veers back and forth between colonialist tourist brochure ("Nobody's ever seen this flower before!"), serial war adventure and cheesy romance as abruptly as the scene shifts from live action to miniature boats bobbing around in a creek behind John Huston's house.

Obviously it's corny and the two leads have a divine amount of plot armor, but it hits the sweet spot if you're looking for an easy watch. It's a little racist, but Jack Cardiff cinematography gives you a racism pass. "I now pronounce you man and wife, now proceed with the execution" is an iconic line

I don't get it. It's not a bad movie, but there's not much going on here after an interesting opening. Hepburn's character isn't likeable. Their romance jumped from strangers to lovers and then never really developed. We don't get other characters so the conflict is mostly vs nature, of which there are many more exciting jungle films. Bonus LOL for the poster which depicts a buff Bogart rescuing a Maureen O'Hara-like buxom redhead, Fav scene: Bogart kicking and explaining the cool steam engine.

Right from the start, Huston insisted this is not going to be just another cardboard decorated studio feature. Ranked by the American Film Institute in 2007 as the 65 greatest movie of all time, The African Queen had to be made on location, where real crocodiles and leaches eat real people. Don't miss this one. More of this review

"I've never tried shooting myself in the head, neither." The growth shown by both characters and how they are affected by one another is well handled. Nothing like a near death experience to make sparks fly! While it was probably necessary, the scenes in turbulent water where they were obviously on a soundstage, were distracting. It's a product of its time, sure, but it took away from the sense of danger. The scenes with the leeches, on the other hand, were much more effective.

The first movie where I could actually see why Katherine Hepburn is held in such high regard. even at his age Bogart does a damn fine job and looks just as good as ever. The story is a little bit far-fetched but that doesn't take away from the movie. This is definitely a movie that belongs on as many best movie lists as it resides on.

I liked the two main characters and I enjoyed seeing their relationship develop. However, I didn't think anything else really stood out.

Regardless of the plausibility, this is delightful. But it may even be somewhat plausible, albeit lucky. If he had brazing wire & sandpaper onboard, the weld possibly would have worked from what I can tell (haven't tried it, but after researching, it seems actually possible on a coal fire!). But nile crocs live in reeds, too, so that woulda been an issue. And how/when/why did they put holes in the side of the boat for their "missiles"? Def just for theatrics, not realistic. Love this, though!

An entertaining adventure tale, good but not great. The pacing and plotting are spot on, but Huston's direction lacks distinction. Nothing makes this movie shine, and even Cardiff's Technicolor photography is a bit lifeless. Bogart and Hepburn give charismatic performances, but one wishes there was more spark between them. The romance definitely feels forced, and I didn't buy it until the very end. Nonetheless, it's an enjoyable tale.

This is one of the corniest movies I've ever seen. Just watch the scene where Bogart imitates a hippo and you will see what I mean, so damn corny. I didn't believe that they were in love for a second either, it felt so forced. The plot was awful and I barely even remember what happened despite seeing it 5 minutes ago. The amount of praise this film has received is ridiculous, it's amazing what kind of acclaim a film can get for simply having famous actors/director despite being corny as shit

Humphrey Bogart is the captain of a small steam boat. He rescues Katharine Hepburn. Their perilous journey down the river is full of rich African scenery. Their goal is to destroy the German gunship patrolling a lake. The details are not always convincing or believable. Bogart's role often seemed stunted and Hepburn's character pretentious. The love story was rather poorly developed, but the movie is well made and is worth watching and entertaining.

The definition of an endearing picture. There is something about watching two quirky people find a common bond and interact the way they do. And it also feels refreshing seeing Hollywood movies finally step outside after being locked inside studios for decades. The jungle landscape adds a authenticity, along with two wonderful performances from less than glamorous Humphrey Bogart & Katharine Hepburn living the life, The African Queen becomes enthralling even if it's only a trip down the river.

Huston's wonderful comedy-adventure is a timeless delight, thanks to the odd-couple casting of Bogart and Hepburn. Huston's direction is remarkably efficient, disguising the story's contrivances and allowing the two stars to shine.

This is a kinda fun adventure/romance movie, but not a whole lot more. The plot of a man and a woman who initially dislike each other, but after going through perilous events, fall in love is a pretty familiar one. But I suppose it wasn't as cliche 60 years ago. The actual story is a little repetitive and unrealistic too. The film is really saved by Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn - they're both very likable and wonderful together.

Surprisingly fresh movie. The theatrical curtains of the era are still apparent, but the acting by Bogart and Hepburn makes them invisable now and then. The story is simple but effective because it prioritizes the interaction over the plot. The biggest tribute goes to the bit of meta in the self-caricaturing ending. Loudest laugh: the inconspicuous shot of the saluting German among the wreckage.

Only good thing about the movie is to see the beautiful Congo. The story is ridiculous, both romance and the sinking of the ship are not a little bit believable. Characters are not likeable and they too are not believable, there isn't anybody like them in the real world. And, most important of all, its attitude is very racist, no wonder it was filmed in Belgian Congo.

I found this quite a charming film - the two main characters, the upper class Rose Sayer (played by Kathearine Hepburn) and the working class Charlie Allnutt (played by Humphrey Bogart) make quite the unusual pair - their discomfort at being together comes across well but I thought it was sweet how they slowly started to care for each other, even though they so also get on each others nerves. The performances are good mostly, though there were 1-2 moments which I felt were a little over the top.

It's a fun action-adventure-romance with solid acting, believable chemistry, gorgeous location photography and an exciting story generally based around smart-people-solving-problems, but oh my god is it colonial and racist. From the opening shots it goes out of its way to show the native Africans as exoticized and animalistic as possible. Great film, but a dated celebration of European colonialism which will no doubt age poorly in the 21st Century.

Humphrey Bogart's (Charlie) charisma jumps on the screen in every scene, as does Katherine Hepburn's (Rose's). However, what really invested me in the movie was not the tale of survival but just how each character elevated the other. Neither Charlie or Rose dominated each other. It's a story about two characters who come from vastly different lives, but band together to accomplish the seemingly impossible - which comes together really well due to the writing of John Huston and James Agee.

Great adventure story. I didn't even recognize Humphrey Bogart at first, playing a bit outside his more typical roles. Some of the special effects look pretty dated now, especially some of the green screens, but they still went to a lot of effort to get them working the way they do. My only big problem with it is that the ending relies on a pretty huge coincidence. I feel like it could have been handled in a bit more of a plausible way.

A befuddling mix of high adventure, war drama, love story, and humor, all equally contrived and improbable, and rendered with sheer cheese. The repartee between Bogart and Hepburn is completely neutered by the feeling that this entire project is Golden Age assembly line, allowing no room for Huston's usually cerebral touch. It's easy to imagine someone in this film's marketing campaign giving the old stock line: "it's got something for everyone, action for the guys and romance for the girls!"

Two great stars, but doesn't hold up well with age. The charm lies entirely in the characters.

Fun, adventurous movie carried by the two lead actors in a beautiful setting. Shooting in Africa was impressive for the time and may have been a first for a movie like this. Not a total home run by any means. Bogart and Hepburn's relationship works initially but then feels rushed. The way the Africans are portrayed is not shocking, but it's pretty bad. I enjoyed the ending and ultimately the positive points pretty heavily outweigh the flaws, so this is worth a watch for any movie buff.

Gets worse once the predictable romance between Hepburn and Bogart begins. The color also seems odd, muted, a shade away from reality. Why should they fall in love? It seems odd, for the consummation to happen so quickly, without much mystery or flirtation. But that's old movie romance for you.

The way that the romance plays out isn't always believable, but the film is still remarkably fun and engaging, especially for a movie that mostly consists of two people bickering on a boat. No wonder Bogart and Hepburn are considered among Hollywood's greatest stars.

An entertaining adventure movie with two great performances. Seeing a Hollywood production from the early 1950s shot in such a remote location was quite interesting and enjoyable. Sure, some parts were a little corny, especially some of the special effects, and the love angle wasn't entirely up to par, but I never once stopped enjoying the hell out of this movie even for a second. Bogart and Hepburn are just so fun to watch.

Highly entertaining, and a nice change of pace for Bogey. Far from being the best Huston film, though.

Perfectly cast, smartly written, and beautifully filmed, The African Queen remains thrilling, funny, and effortlessly absorbing even after more than half a century's worth of adventure movies borrowing liberally from its creative DNA.
