Product Description:
The boozing, smoking, cussing captain of a tramp steamer, Charlie Allnut, saves prim and proper Rose Sayer after her brother is killed by German soldiers at the beginning of World War I in Africa. Many quarrels later, the two set sail on the Ulonga-Bora in order to sabotage a German ship. Based on the 1935 novel by C.S. Forester, the wonderful combination of Hepburn and Bogie makes this a thoroughly enjoyable blend of comedy and adventure.

The title of my review says it all. This wonderful classic deserves to be released on DVD by the studio. This version is a cheaply made import and quality is highly disappointing. Watching it completely destroys the experience.
Added to that, my quickly-made purchase (without reading carefully) supported the foreign market that is pirating and distributing cheaply-made DVDs to fill the void here in the U.S. on some classic film titles that are taking their time being released on ... Read More

I had bought the version with the same cover picture in oranges and purples that's shown here, and it had pretty bad picture.
I'm glad I didn't give up, and also bought the version from South Korea with the blue-white photo of Hepburn and Bogart on white background, which was just great, with very clear picture, very clear sound, nicely formed bright subtitles that I then turned off, and really nice, rich colosr, in full-screen format.
Loved the special features, especially, ... Read More

Currently this movie isn't available on DVD which is a shame. However, fans of this movie should wait until it's officially released. This movie looks like it was recorded using a bad quality videotape on "EP" mode. And then someone made a copy of a copy of a copy. The picture is grainy and pretty much unwatchable. Great movie, bad copy.

Up front, I have to say that even though these discs appear as legitimately pressed DVD-5 silver discs, the facts are:
1) Paramount owns the right to this film in North America, and the movie has been well-restored.
2) These Region 0 Korean discs are converted from sped-up PAL video sources
3) The disc's bitrate is extremely low - the total size of all files is under 3GB, and the video is very grainy.
4) The artwork says the film is letterboxed, but the film is shot full-frame ... Read More

"The African Queen" gave Humphrey Bogart his first (and last) Academy Award, is yet another film pairing up Bogart and director John Huston, and is featured on The American Film Institute's Top 100 (#17). Out of the Bogart films I've seen on the Top 100, I don't like this film more than the two others that place below this film on that list (The Maltese Falcon and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, both directed by Huston) but it is a fantastic film with legendary performances and a (semi) timeless story. Bogart ... Read More
