The African Queen is a 1951 British-American adventure film adapted from the 1935 novel of the same name by C. S. Forester.
An English spinster, Rose is the sister of a missionary, Rev. Samuel Sayer.
The two Christian missionaries are in a remote African village with grass huts and a little wooden church, which is located somewhere deep in a German African colony during WWI near the Ulanga River.
The German war machine appears to brutally start burning the little straw hut village, killing the native women and children while kidnapping the African men, and just as quickly the German terror vanishes.
When the smoke clears from the burning village, all is in ruin.
The film was directed by John Huston and produced by Sam Spiegel and John Woolf.
The screenplay was adapted by James Agee, John Huston, John Collier, and Peter Viertel.
