Chicago Sun-Times -
This was a movie that respected its audience and respected its genuine desire to be well and intelligently entertained.

The Guardian -
A ripping, gripping yarn, a surprisingly erotic love story and, as it happens, a premonition of Herzog's Fitzcarraldo.

The Hollywood Reporter -
As charming as the C.S. Forester novel on which it is based, The African Queen is top flight entertainment, delightful, different, always interesting. It is filled with excitement and adventure and sparked by superlative performances from Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.

Variety -
An engrossing motion picture. Just offbeat enough in story, locale and star teaming of Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn to stimulate the imagination. It is a picture with an unassuming warmth and naturalness that can have a bright boxoffice chance

TV Guide Magazine -
A film that has everything--adventure, humor, spectacular photography and superb performances.
