The African Queen (1951) Note: This movie HAS been commercially released on Region 2 dvd (Europe, Japan, etc), so if your dvd player is compatible with Region 2 discs, you should purchase a commercial copy. Our dvd of "The African Queen" offered here is for those whose players cannot play Region 2 discs, such as most players in the USA or Canada. --------------------------------------------------------- The setting is the African Congo at the outbreak of World War I.  Humphrey Bogart won his only Best Actor Academy Award for his role as a scruffy riverboat captain who joins forces with spinsterish missionary Katharine Hepburn as they take his decrepit old boat, The African Queen, and go after the Germans. Directed by John Huston, this one's got it all - romance, action, adventure, comedy, great chemistry between the oddly-matched stars.... A real gem. Quality: 10/10
