Review of The African Queen (1952) by Matt G — 28 Aug 2018
African Queen is a bit odd to me. Sometimes it plays like a capital-I "Important" movie, with its cinematography, performances and setting. At others, it's as light as a feather, especially in the jarringly corny and somewhat forced romance.
Still, there's an ineffable joy to watching two titans work together so confidently and with such strong characters, and a better-than-expected ending. Decent if overrated.
