African Queen, The (1951)

African Queen is one of the best movies ever made. No special effects, no car crashes, just a man, a woman and a boat. The writing is simple and to the point, the acting and chemistry of the two stars is honest and likeable.

Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn play two lonely people in the congo, he a river rat with his own supply boat, her a spinster sister of a christian missionary, their differences in life make the story. John Huston directs African Queen with the simple touch of an artist, each scene is better than the last, leading up the last great scene.

This movie is a a timeless classic. If you are a real movie fan you will love African Queen and want to see it again and again. if you are not a fan of any movie made before 1980 you will hate this movie.
