About this product

Product Information

Starring Academy Award winners Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn, The African Queen tells the timeless tale of two mismatched strangers joining forces in a common cause and finding love along the way. Meticulously restored from the original film elements, the story chronicles the burgeoning romance between Bogies river rat Charlie Allnut and Hepburns missionary Rose Sayer, as they reluctantly join forces to torpedo a German gunboat in wartorn East Africa. Directed by Academy Award winner John Huston, and filmed on location in the Belgian Congo, The African Queen is arguably one of the finest films ever made with one of the most legendary star pairings ever to appear on the screen!

  • "African Queen" Excellent restoration and high quality transfer to Bluray, with extras

    I had recently watched the 2006 MRA label DVD, which has plenty of noticeable faults from their well worn film source. In stark contrast, this 2010 "Beyond" label Blu-ray looks and sounds perfect throughout. The image is pillarboxed to retain the original 4:3 theatrical aspect ratio, and sensibly the mono audio is encoded as 2.0 Dolby Digital. Valuable and unique new bonus features include a full commentary by the film's cinematographer Jack Cardiff and a professionally produced one hour detailed and informative HD documentary: "Embracing Chaos: Making The African Queen" - with contributors such as Martin Scorcese. There's also the original theatrical trailer. The "Making Of" featurette is vital for enhancing our enjoyment and appreciation of this classic film, and for understanding aspects such as the very rich colour, the risks and illness endured by the cast and crew, the development of the characters, the script writing and the arrival at such a satisfying conclusion (way better than the book). Highly recommended.

  • Sheer delight to experience a major classic.

    African Queen, in our view, is one of the the top ten films ever produced! BluRay processing has transformed the quality of both sound and picture. C.S.Forester's wonderful story is depicted in a way which would have delighted him.
