I don't think I've ever watched much of it, but what struck me was that
is was in colour, I would have sworn that when I've watched bits of it >before it was in B&W.

Maybe on a B&W TV, but it was filmed in Technicolor, some in England: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_African_Queen_(film)#/media/File:The_African_Queen_(1952_US_poster).jpg>

I have the opposite problem - for years I was convinced that 'Some Like it >Hot' was in colour!

Flicking around the channels this afternoon, I noticed that The African Queen was on (mainly because i think it was on not very long ago).

Has it normally been shown in colour, or was a cheapo B&W copy lurking somewhere?

The first time I ever saw any of it, it was certainly in monochrome, on

Just spotted this.
A clip from TAQ was used in the 1962 UK-made Hope and Crosby movie "Road
To Hong Kong". RTHK was itself made in B&W, so the clip was also
rendered in monochrome. It was a few seconds of Bogey slowly towing the
boat on foot through a swamp (before getting out of the water covered in leeches).

For years I was convinced that "Some Like it Hot" was in colour, then I
was amazed to find that it was not.
