 The African Queen is a marvelous film of romance, adventure, love and human
character all set in lush location filming in Ceylon. It follows the adventures of a
crusty dyed-in-the-wool bachelor, Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart) and his nemesis, Rose
Sayer (Katharine Hepburn), in World War I Africa. The pair struggle against the climate,
the river, the bugs, the Germans and, most of all, against each other. And in the end,
love and strength of character overcome all. What a story! |

The African Queen is one of two
films on this site that cover the tumultuous second decade of this century. The other is
the A Night to Remember. They are part
of the larger History in Film web site that
supports teaching history using popular films. It includes films from Rome up to the war
in Vietnam. I'd enjoy hearing your comments on this site. Please sign the Guestbook.
I hope you enjoy your visit.

pages to edit and print as your own, they are all available here as Rich Text Format files in one relatively
small WinZip package. Alternatively, if you only want a few of the files, each page has a
download link for that RTF WinZip file alone (usually 3 or 4 K). If you would like the
short answer essay test that accompanies this film, please E-mail me at the mail box
