The African Queen: An Analysis

Features The African Queen: An Analysis

Katherine Hepburn’s Rose Sayer shows us the original female action hero as she journeys down a wild and dangerous river to carry out her mission for God and country.
In a classic pairing with Humphrey Bogart as Charlie Allnut, the two are challenged by inter-relational struggles, natural elements and the formidable foe of a German gunboat.
But, on top of its carefull interweaving of distinct romance and adventure stories, the film manages to describe a spiritual journey as well.
