The African Queen is a truly heartwarming, comical and thrilling account of two lovers in Africa during World War I. Charlie Allnut played by Humphrey Bogart is the captain of an old riverboat, The African Queen, and makes his living carrying mail and supplies to the local mine and villages. He likes his gin, and is content with his idyllic life. Rose Sayer played by Kate is a middle-aged English spinster who has spent her entire life following in the footsteps of her brother played by Robert Morley who is a missionary preacher in Africa, where Rose is his assistant. Rose is very prim and straitlaced, and has never experienced life. In 1914, German troops overrun the preachers village and cause his death. Charlie, out of pity, takes her under his wing; but Rose's Grief becomes anger directed towards the Germans, and the unwilling Charlie has no choice but to cooperate in a plot to sink the German cruiser 'Louisa' on a downstream lake. |
| This film spawned a book written by Kate called "The Making of African Queen or How I went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and almost lost my mind". The book, as the title implies, gives an account of their experiences making the film. Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart were very much in love at the time and Kate and they became fast friends. |
