African Queen - Special Edition (Blu-ray)

German East Africa at the beginning of the First World War: Boat captain Charlie Allnutt (Humphrey Bogart) supplies a settlement with his small river steamer "African Queen", where the God-fearing Methodist Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn) also lives with her brother Samuel (Robert Morley). After the surprising destruction of the settlement, the rough-and-tumble and freedom-loving Charlie sees himself as responsible and takes the spinster Rose on board, who makes his beloved lottery life difficult for him with her moral strictness. On the adventurous and often exhausting journey, the unlikely couple gradually gets closer - unaware that the toughest tests are yet to come.
