Taking an instant, mutual dislike to one another, the two endure rough waters, the presence of German soldiers, and their own bickering to finally fall into one another's arms. This is classic Huston material--part adventure, part quest--but this time with a pair of characters who'd all but given up on happiness. Bogart (a longtime collaborator with Huston on such classics as The Maltese Falcon and Key Largo) and Hepburn have never been better, and support from frequent Huston crony Robert Morley (Beat the Devil, also featuring Bogart) adds some extra dimension and color. --Tom Keogh   Customer Reviews   Why isn't this on DVD already? Rating: 5 This is a classic and it's not on DVD yet. I've been waiting and waiting. Come on, put it on DVD already! Fantastic movie! Great Oldie! Rating: 5 I sat down and watched this two times the evening I received it, it is still an awesomely wonderful movie. Keep in mind the Region Codes though if you want to purchase this, it comes from Germany!, it is a great copy of the original, no problems with it at all! The African Queen Rating: 5 Excellent in all ways. I can find no fault with this movie in any way.
