Starring: Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn

Adapted from a novel by C.S. Forester, The African Queen stars Humphrey Bogart as Charlie Allnut, the slovenly, gin-swilling captain of a tramp steamer called the African Queen, which ships supplies to small East African villages during World War I. Katharine Hepburn plays Rose Sayer, the maiden-lady sister of a prim British missionary (Robert Morley). When invading Germans kill the missionary and level the village, Allnut offers to take Rose back to civilization.
