Beat the Devil is a subtle comedy of manners. It’s not a great Hollywood film, but a shrimp independent (Bogart’s absorb production company) that happens to have an fabulous cast, is directed by one of the best (John Huston), with a Truman Capote screenplay. It’s become one of my common off-beat films and can’t recommend it enough.

What’s not to like? Quite a bit if you read some of the disgruntled reviews below! But don’t be dissuaded, it’s a gem. And remember, Pauline Kael was a gargantuan fan of this movie; if she’s a reviewer you trust, that might be enough for you.
Other reviewers have outlined the space so I won’t go into that, and in any case, that’s not the reason to spy this movie. The plot’s certainly as estimable as any droll Hitchcock film, with its MacGuffin and several surprising twists and laughable suspense subplots unraveling throughout.

There are subtleties to Beat the Devil that apparently rush many reviewers, who perhaps wanted another formulaic ‘noir’ classic or some kind of slapstick laff-fest. If you like Original Yorker cartoons, you’ll likely relish this movie as distinguished as I do: I’ve watched this movie at least 5 times and unexcited appreciate it.
Beat the Devil escapes categorization, except to say that it’s a quick-witted funny screenplay performed with skill and insight by several of the best actors of the 50s. Robert Morley is sublimely humorous, and brings out the best in Peter Lorre and the other criminals in the gang.
Jennifer Jones is sexy and charming in her role as a compulsive liar, as is her classic and earnestly doltish husband. They reek naive British charm and are proper together, providing a poignant tension in difference to the gang of conniving scoundrels.
Bogart himself has one foot in each boat, and distinguished of the film revolves around the conflict he suffers in this double life, playing each off the other. As in most Bogie flicks, he’s hilariously dry and sly, with lollapalooza actress Gina Lollobrigida playing his scheming wife. Everyone’s on the acquire except Harry Chelm, Jennifer Jones’ character’s husband.
There isn’t the passion of a Bogie/Bacall film, and it’s not the classic noir we all worship with Bogart, so don’t be disappointed.
One word of warning: Beat the Devil slipped into the public domain, so the DVDs on the market are of varying quality. The one I have is ok, but only impartial… it’s like watching an feeble movie, with herky jerky pops and cuts and some noise. It doesn’t bother me that considerable though, and emphasizes the ‘rare find’ quality if you’re feeling charitable. If you’re a digital maniac, you’ll be better served watching something Criterion’s had its device with.
Beat the Devil is one of the most unique 50s movies I can judge of, and I don’t normally sight any movie as often as I’ve watched this one. With the possible exception of other Bogart classics.
Terrific movie. My thought of the DVD itself is what you’re enthusiastic in, though.

OK, apart from the Tony Curtis intro, this could have been a decent disc. The quality is about what you’d request from a movie made ten years earlier, but that may be what we’ll have to live with until Robert A. Harris decides to restore it.
Unfortunately, the logo that Laserlight chose to build in the lower accurate corner, noteworthy like television stations can’t resist doing these days, really ruins it. Not only does one not seek information from to have to do up with distractions like this on a disc that one pays for, but it shows up EVERY TEN MINUTES during the movie. It impartial shows how puny class Laserlight has. You may as well tape it when it shows up on AMC.
