In "The African Queen," a spirited missionary named Rose and a rough-around-the-edges boat captain named Charlie find themselves on a wild adventure during World War I in Africa. When their village is threatened by German forces, Rose and Charlie set out on a rickety old boat, "The African Queen," to escape the danger. Along their perilous journey down treacherous rivers, this unlikely duo bickers, bonds, and battles the elements, all while trying to strike back at the enemy in a thrilling and heartwarming tale of courage, romance, and sheer determination. Will their love-hate relationship blossom into something more, or will the challenges of the jungle keep them forever at odds?

This rare early factory sealed Betamax copy of The African Queen has received an overall grade of 75+ EX/NM by VGA, with a Box subgrade of 80 and a Seal subgrade of 75.
