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. And of course, Huston could only call one man to fill the title role: Humphrey Bogart. The African Queen is deservedly... read more

Movies the giraffe watched in 2021: September (46 movies items)"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."

1001 Movies ... my own version (1950's) (101 movies items)" 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"

Most Dangerous Movies Ever Made (13 movies items)"The African Queen is a classic, one of the greatest movies in the filmography of venerable director and actor John Huston. Tired of the phony look of Hollywood's jungle sets, Huston decided to use his experience shooting The Treasure of the Sierra Madre—which he had filmed on location in Mexico—and apply it to his new adventure, which was to be filmed over seven weeks in Uganda and the Congo. Years later, star Katherine Hepburn would write a book entitled The Making of The African Queen: or,"

1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (1950's) (126 movies items)" Notes: Recently, I have seen ‘The Treasure of the Sierra Madre’ which is arguably the best movie Humphrey Bogart and John Huston have made together. Eventually, they would make 5 movies and this flick was the last one they made together. Even though it is also considered as a classic, it didn’t have much an impact on me, at least not as much as ‘The Treasure…’ which was really amazing and the best thing starring Bogart I have seen so far. I mean, it was a solid and fun adventure an"
