This lesser known Humphrey Bogart film was directed by John Huston, who also directed Bogart in both The African Queen and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. In Beat the Devil, Bogart is part of a group of criminal opportunists who travel to Africa to exploit the uranium that has recently been discovered there. On the way, they travel on a steamer with other people who may or may not be traveling for the same reason, including a British married couple. Despite much infighting and betrayal by the members of the gang, they end up in Africa, only to be put in front of an Arab firing squad. Other notables in the cast include Peter Lorre, Jennifer Jones, and Gina Lollabrigida.
