VHS Movie Reviews of The African Queen
Movie Review: Great hardship brings great entertainment!
Summary: 4 Stars
Bogart only did it because he owed a favor to Huston. Hepburn wrote of her experiences filming this movie in a book subtitled, "How I went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and almost lost my mind." Hard to believe such hardship, suffering, and sickness could result in such a beautiful film as this. No pretensions about cultural or political comment, allegorical connections, sermons, or--thank the Almighty--a photographer's piece. This is just a simple, and brilliant, mix of adventure, character, and humor. Even with all of the superb jungle backgrounds, (another Jack Cardiff triumph) the real beauty of the film lies in its gentle portrait of it's disparate leading characters; and the lyrical unfolding of their inevitable attraction to one another. Don't let this description fool you; it's also great fun. Bogart and Hepburn at their most winning; generous helpings of laughter, tenderness, romance, and high adventure make it all go down smooth and satisfying. It also jumps right into the action, with no stops or wrong turns along the way (no pun intended...you'll find out). A poem of a film!
