Editorial Review:
In this sly satire on British imperialist pretensions Billy Dannreuther (Humphrey Bogart) receives a confidential tip regarding uranium mines in Kenya. He devices a scheme to buy up the land as cheaply as possible but his corrupt plans are temporarily stalled by a transportation problem. While Dannreuther and his wife Maria (Gina Lollobrigida) wait in Italy for repairs to be made to the steamer headed for Africa they are joined by other adventurers who also have their eyes set on the valuable property: the young upper-class Englishman Harry Chelm (Edward Underdown) his neglected wife Gwendolen (Jennifer Jones) and a quartet of international crooks consisting of Peterson (Robert Morley) Julius O'Hara (Peter Lorre) Ravello (Marco Tulli) and Major Jack Ross (Ivor Barnard). They're all terrified of being discovered especially since one of them is a hired killer on the run!System Requirements:Running Time: 89 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY/CLASSICS UPC: 798622306326 Manufacturer No: WLV3063
Beat the Devil Reviews:
Poor Quality DVD 
2009-08-28 - This particular DVD is of poor quality. Westlake Entertainment has offered up one of the worse copies that I have seen.
This is a must have Bogie film but not from this studio.....
A must-have film 
2007-06-13 - One of the most dryly amusing films you will ever have the pleasure to relish. Robert Morley is amazing, Peter Lorre is sublime, Jennifer Jones is stunning and Bogey is Bogey.
weak performance by Bogart
2007-01-09 - Bogart seems tired and ill in this film. Black and white shooting is very poor also, looks as if the director and crew just wanted a vacation in Italy and decided to make a film to accomplish it. But, Jennifer Jones gives an acceptable rookie performance and it is a required addition to any "Bogy" collection.
