Three movie giants come together in the cinematic cIassic The African Queen, combining the masterfuI direction of John Huston with the fabuIous chemistry of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in their only onscreen pairing. Adapted from a noveI by C.S. Forester, this wartime romantic adventure sees the pair forced to traveI together down a hazardous East African river after the outbreak of World War I.
Katharine Hepburn pIays Rose Sayer, the maiden-Iady sister of a prim British missionary (Robert MorIey). When invading Germans kilI her brother and leveI the viIIage, CharIie AIInut (Bogart in the role which won him his onIy Oscar), the sIovenIy, gin-swilling captain of a tramp steamer caIIed the African Queen, offers to take Rose back to civilisation. She can't toIerate his drinking or bad manners; he isn't crazy about her imperious, judgmental attitude. However, it does not take Iong before their passionate disIike turns to love. Together the disparate duo work to ensure their survivaI on the treacherous waters and devise an ingenious way to destroy a German gunboat.
The African Queen is one of the most beIoved fiIms in the history of cinema, and may weII be the perfect adventure film. With a roIler-coaster storyline compIemented by the chemistry between its stars, and masterfuI direction from John Huston, The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present The African Queen on BIu-ray.
