Editorial Review: Enjoy 3 movies on 1 DVD: Beat The Devil: Two beautiful women and a band of desperate men! Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, adventure and the hunt for a fabulous fortune! These are the elements of Beat the Devil, a favorite of adventure movie lovers since it was released in 1953. The movie opens on a quartet of international crooks stranded in Italy while their ship is repaired. They are joined by a seemingly innocent couple on their way to Africa. As the steamer gets underway, it becomes evident that no one is who they seem. Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Peter Lorre and Gina Lollobrigida headline a superb cast in this tale of fortune hunters as they careen across the globe in pursuit of treasure and adventure! Charade: Charade is one of the smartest and most entertaining caper movies of the 1960's. The beautiful Audrey Hepburn and the ultra-suave Cary Grant star. The plot revolves around Regina (Audrey Hepburn), whose husband is murdered before she can divorce him. When Regina travels to Paris to locate her husband's missing money, she runs into Peter Joshua (Cary Grant), and his partners in crime. They are also trying to find the money, which may or may not have come from a stolen WWII payroll. The twists and turns become a maze when the searchers start turning up dead. A Farewell To Arms: In A Farewell To Arms, Ernest Hemingway calls on his personal experience to tell the story of Lt. Henry (Gary Cooper), a member of the Italian Medical Service during WWI. Henry meets and falls in love with an English nurse (Helen Hayes), and when he learns that she is bearing his child, he deserts his unit to search for her amid the hardships of war. A beautiful love story, set against the backdrop of a continent torn by war. A Farewell To Arms won the Academy Award for its stunning black and white photography. |
