Review of Beat the Devil (1953) by Bob V — 02 Sep 2010
There are things I like and don't like about this.. Likes: Bogie of course, Lorre of course, and Robert Morley is good: Things I didn't like, the whole story, which plays itself as a dark comedy, but fails on it (most of the time) Jennifer Jones is a bit too squirrelly (but I did like her part as someone DESPERATE for adventure) and Gina Lollabridgada is just flat.
It almost feels like a home movie Capote and Huston decided to make just so they could get a chance to lounge in Italy for a few months.
