Is it clear that they had sex?

I think they did. Just watching this now on Retroplex, and I'm catching hints that I didn't when I first saw this as a teen. They are playful with each other, they cuddle, and she never stops calling him "dear" and "darling" at one point. When they first go for a swim/bath, Rosie is very prudish about getting undressed, but later when they are swarmed by mosquitoes, Rosie doesn't hesitate to strip down to jump into the river (even though she ends up not having to). Finally, when they're stuck in the reeds after Allnut is bitten by the leeches. Rosie prays that, if they die, they both may enter heaven "despite their weakness."

No gin left ? I hope they did what else was left for him

It's not clear, but I'm guessing they had sex. There's the morning after scene with Hepburn preparing a cup of tea while Bogart is still sleeping. Then there is their sudden lack of hesitation when seeing each other wearing less clothes. And don't forget that part where Bogart asks in prayer that God forgive them for their weaknesses. And finally, how Bogart asks the captain to marry them because it would make the lady happy.

Really, the movie reminds me of a happy honeymoon in so many ways.

I think it's great.

My rating: 10

If not for that scum, Will H. Hays, we'd probably know for sure.

I think it's a possibility. Hollywood at the time always hinted at things like that all the time. If you watch "Double Indemnity"1944 there is a scene that hints they had sex.

No, actually, it's not clear they had sex. Get your mind out of the gutter.

Not clear signs at all. We might as well figure they visited a city and bought supplies along the way. It's not shown that they did it.

Are you kidding? Really? Does any mature or reasonable person even need to ask? Of course they had sex. Movies of this era had to be subtle, but it was clear to me. A boat, a river, and adventure, a man and a woman wet together. She was clearly primed for her step into fullfillment and they both fell heads and heels over each other. How could it be any other way? Watch the movie over again and pay close attention to the mannerisms and the body language. It was beautiful and so much more sensual than just portraying the obvious.

"We will have stories to tell our grandchildren, Rosie"

"Dear Lord, judge us not for our weakness (sex), but for our love."

The clincher was that Charlie asked the Captain to marry them. There was a reason for this, to validate their relationship.

People have been the same forever. They had sex.
