- Charlie Allnut (Humphrey Bogart) to Rose Sayer (Katharine Hepburn), The African Queen
As long as DVDs have been the dominant home video format, movie-lovers have lamented the fact that so many classic films had yet to make the transition. There have been numerous lists compiled of noteworthy films that, for one reason or another, have never made it to Region-1 DVD. High at the top of any such list is the 1951 John Huston adventure The African Queen. One of the American Film Institute's "100 Years...100 Movies," The African Queen stars two of Hollywood's most beloved actors, and features the sole Oscar-winning performance of Humphrey Bogart's legendary career. And yet, no DVD? On March 23rd, Paramount Home Entertainment rectified the situation.
