Starring Academy Award winners Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, The African Queen tells the timeless tale of two mismatched strangers joining forces in a common cause and finding love along the way. The story chronicles the burgeoning romance between Bogies river rate Charlie Allnut and Hepburns missionary Rose Sayer, as they reluctantly join forces to torpedo a German gunboat in war-torn East Africa. Directed by John Huston, and filmed on location in the Belgian Congo, The African Queen is arguably one of the finest films ever made with one of the most legendary star pairings ever to appear on the screen!
