The African Queen [IMPORT]

Be somewhat forgiving in criticizing movie releases. It is my understanding that the copyrights for "The African Queen" is privately held which may be why it has never been released on DVD in the USA,i.e., the copyright owner has not released their rights for reproduction. Just recently "Marie Antoinette" with Norma Shearer was put to DVD and that movie, although not on par with "The African Queen" is one of my favorites. Again, the copyright may have been privately held which precluded earlier adaptation to DVD.

Also, I agree with the reviewer regarding "Widescreen". The old movies will not come out in widescreen because that is not how they were filmed.

I just wanted to add in my support of having this DVD released in the US. There is so much crap out there on DVD - why are the classics being held back? I would buy this in a second if it were given a proper release.

DVD was good til the last 5 minutes or so, then it started to skip. I reversed for a few minutes and restarted and this time it went all the way to the end without a problem. I will watch it again and if the problem occurs again, I will send it back for a replacement or refund.

Received the wrong CD Rom/DVD. Was sent The Jacksons instead of what I ordered....The African Queen.

Have not heard back from the merchant and it has been 3 weeks. Very disappointed. Will not purchase any other DVD's.

This movie is perhaps one of the top best 20 movies ever made by Hollywood.
Let's face it no one will be able to take Bogart's place or Hepburn's either.

They were two of the very best actors to ever come out of Hollywood.
