Bogart and Hepburn star in this epic John Huston flick that was filmed ON LOCATION in Africa, something that was quite incredible for the time. It's WWI, the Germans are invading, and our two plucky heroes decide they need to take down a warship with a 6lb gun all by themselves...and fall in love along the way. The titular "African Queen" steals the show as the run-down river steamer, a boat that had historic reverberations at none other than Disneyland. It's high jungle adventure this week on Film School!
