The African Queen (1977 film) The African Queen (1977 film) The African Queen is a television film which aired on CBS on March 18, 1977. It stars Warren Oates as Captain Charlie Allnut and Mariette Hartley as Rose Sayer, reprising roles originated by Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in the 1951 film of the same name.
