The Africa Queen

There is something wonderful about formula of Katherine Hepburn as a middle aged, strait-laced, spinster being swept off her feet by an uncouth, drunk everyman played by [insert leading man]. It's a niche Hepburn played well, and her Rose Sayer doesn't disappoint, though I have to admit, I was puzzled by her ethnicity. She initially had an English accent, which she appeared to give up on five minutes into the film. It's also nice to see Boggie playing a rougher, less mysterious character than his more well known Sam Spade and Rick Blaine. The movie is a bit unrealistic, but it's a nice little bit of indulgent, sticking it to the Nazis. Parts can be slow, but overall the bantering between Hepburn and Bogart is a delight to watch.
