“Beat the Devil”

Wednesday, September 17, 1 pm

(Action/Adventure/Comedy)

Rated PG; 1 hour, 29 minutes (1953).

Our final Wednesday art/foreign film of the season.

Written by Truman Capote, directed by John Huston, and bankrolled by Humphrey Bogart’s Santana Productions company,  this is a droll satire of the Maltese Falcon,  and was Huston’s and Bogart’s sixth and last collaboration. On their way to Africa, a group of rogues and swindlers hope to get rich by outsmarting each other in their chase  for uranium. Filmed on location in Italy, this film has become a Bogart cult classic. Starring Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida, Peter Lorre and Robert Morley.
