This film is said to be the inspiration for Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise ride, which lead to the 2021 Jungle Cruise film. All of it comes from a novel by C. S. Forester. Katharine Hepburn plays a missionary who’s brother is killed in WWI Africa. A steamer captain, played by Humphrey Bogart, offers her passage to safety. She’s not interested in hiding out and convinces him to attack the enemy.
The African Queen was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 1994.
This film will be screened on the 104th anniversary of the WWI Armistice.
Admission is free.
