Beat the Devil

Humphrey Bogart stars in this classic adventure comedy directed by John Huston and written by Truman Capote.

One of a disparate group of fortune-seekers looking to claim uranium-rich land East Africa, a hard-up Billy Dannreuther (Bogart) faces the swindling machinations of his cohorts as they await passage from an Italian port. But with scheming and ruses aplenty, will this motley crew miss the boat completely...?

Presented in a new restoration, this wry send-up of noir classics - including Huston’s own The Maltese Falcon - features an all-star cast including Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida and Peter Lorre.
