John Huston’s Beat the Devil stars Humphrey Bogart as Billy Dannreuther, the frontman for a group of swindlers stranded in an Italian port town, scheming to take ownership of uranium-rich land in Africa. Flirtations and a web of lies ensnare the group, testing their allegiances. The last of six collaborations between Huston and Bogart, and from a screenplay by Truman Capote, Beat the Devil evokes an effortless wit and charm found only in classic film gems like this one. Featuring great supporting turns from Jennifer Jones (Duel in the Sun), Gina Lollobrigida (Solomon and Sheba), and Peter Lorre (Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon).
