The African Queen (1951)

The African Queen is considered a classic by many film forums. Forums like The American Film Institute and Four Star Movies: 101 Greatest Films of All Time has this film listed as one of the greatest. Where the film really draws the attention is the acting by Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn, two unlikely actors to come together with enough chemistry to form a sweet love story. The film was the first color film for both actors and the film was Hepburn's official transition into much more mature roles. With the film's two main characters, Charlie and Rose, having the quintessential love – hate relationship in a complicated world, The African Queen creates the classic Hollywood theme of a love story. With the story written during and for a time of war it includes the realistic tone that every film should have. The African Queen is considered a classic, but some of its elements may suggest that it may be given too much credit.
