An adventure-romance starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn. The film follows Charlie Allnut, a rough, hard-drinking boat captain, and Rose Sayer, a prim missionary, as they embark on a perilous journey down a dangerous African river aboard a small steamboat, The African Queen. Despite their contrasting personalities, they must team up to survive encounters with wild rapids, enemy forces, and their own growing romantic tension. Along the way, their bond deepens, and an unexpected love blossoms amidst the adversity they face together.

Casablanca gets all the attention, but this is Bogart at his best. Kate Hepburn is glorious and the photography is amazing.

No spoilers, but you have to watch it until the very end.
