"Directed by John Huston, this is one of the great oddball masterpieces of the American cinema. Truman Capote is said to have made up the script on location from day to day, and the crazyquilt cast, though thoroughly confused, seems for the most part to have enjoyed themselves immensely. Nothing could have been better calculated to offend the straightlaced sensibilities of the early 50's than this revolutionary black comedy. It became one of the first bondfide "underground" classics. The plot, such as it is, concerns a group of con-artists stuck in a small Italian port on their way to consummating a huge uranium swindle in British East Africa. The acting, from Peter Lorre's unctuous philosopher to Humphrey Bogart's half-hearted hustler to Jennifer Jone's extravagant liar, is incredibly offbeat. Also starring Gina Lollobrigida and Robert Morley."@en
"Humphrey Bogart stars as one of five disreputable adventurers who are trying to get uranium out of East Africa. Bogart's associates include pompous fraud Robert Morley, and Peter Lorre as the German-accented "O'Hara", whose wartime record is forever a source of speculation and suspicion. Becoming involved in Bogart's machinations are a prim British married couple (Edward Underdown and blonde-wigged Jennifer Jones). As a climax to their many misadventures and double-crosses, the uranium seekers end up facing extermination by an Arab firing squad. The satirical nature of Beat the Devil eluded many moviegoers in 1953, and the film was a failure. The fact that the picture attained cult status in lesser years failed to impress its star Humphrey Bogart, who could only remember that he lost a considerable chunk of his own money when he became involved in the project. Peter Viernick worked on the script on an uncredited basis. Beat the Devil eventually fell into public domain, leading to numerous inferior editions by second and third-tiered labels."@en
