Summary: Region 1 DVD
Comment: As stated in another review by Dean Winiarski, this is a very good transfer and a Region 1 DVD. I just got my third party copy and it plays just fine! Would someone tell me why there are dozens of garbage DVDs released in the USA every week, and I have to buy a classic Humphrey Bogart/Katherine Hepburn movie as a Japanese DVD import?! At least I got my Region 1 copy! (And since the Japanese are listening, and Hollywood isn't, please contact me 'cause I've got a whole list of movies that we want on regular old DVD!)

Summary: The African Queen reigns supreme!
Comment: 'The African Queen' is an acknowledged classic of the first order.
How does one review perfection in cinematography? How does one review superlative acting by the three main characters? I say three main actors because, of the 'extras', Robert Morley deserves mention for his excellent portrayal of the 'out of his depth' missionary.
Bogart and Hepburn have a film chemistry that film makers must have drooled over. They are magnificent together. When one considers that the two of them - confined, as they were, to a boat in the middle of nowhere - managed to produce a movie that grips the mind and keeps one on the edge of one's seat for the duration of the film, only 'boggles the mind'.
This film deserves every award it received along with the actors. It is, simply, a marvellous movie!

Summary: African Queen
Comment: We really wanted a copy of African Queen and couldn't find one. This copy is colorized which I think reduces the originality of the film. However, if the choice is this or nothing, this works fine. There are no special features or interviews, just the film.

Summary: African Queen - Hong Kong Import
Comment: I saw absolutely nothing wrong with this version of the classic African Queen. I had been waiting for Hollywood to release this movie and had trepidations about buying a "foreign version". This turned out to be no problem, and I don't have to wait for Hollywood to get their head out of their ... well you know.

Summary: african queen import
Comment: Because this was an import, it turned out to have Chinese subtitles, which made the video unwatchable because they were distracting and annoying. I had to return it to Amazon for refund.
