beat the devil

May 2 movie: Beat the Devil. I heard this movie was a hysterically funny send-up of caper movies. Unfortunately I had it on while buried deep in the Massive Archiving Project and I didn't give it nearly the attention it deserved, and don't have much of a clear memory of it. I do remember Georg and I laughing at a number of things so it must have been as funny as advertised. It starred Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Peter Lorre, Gina Lollabrigida and Robert Morley, and was written by Truman Capote. Rent it for that reason, despite my being too lame to write a decent review.
