Classic in every sense of the word.
By this time in his career, John Huston was already established as a capable filmmaker who had previously helmed such classics as The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

"Escape from execution, brackets: usually hanging. If you ask me, swashbucklers - be it a Western, a sea-faring adventure or something else entirely - always benefit from a scene of the protagonist escaping death, but it can't be just any type of death, no: I maintain, it has to public execution. Something with a large crowd gathered to witness the humiliating defeat of our main character, being the center of attention and suspense accelerated with a prolonged silence from aforementioned crowd."

"First viewing - Sept. 26th I tried watching The African Queen a while back and wasn't really in the mood for it. I decided to give it another shot, and wound up genuinely enjoying it this time around. Hepburn and Bogart play well off one another, and I liked their characters and how the story plays out around them. It's nothing great, but it's a solidly entertaining film and well worth a look."

" Notes: Well, to be honest, even though it is considered as a classic, it didn’t have much an impact on me, at least not as much as ‘The Treasure of the Sierra Madre’ which was really amazing and the best thing starring Bogart I have seen so far. I mean, sure, it was a solid and fun adventure and I had a good time watching it but, eventually, it was rather generic so it didn’t really blow me away. Eventually, one of the most interesting things about it was that this movie basically foc"
