Beat The Devil

Humphrey Bogart Double Feature!

Buy Tickets Passes OK

Double Feature w/CASABLANCA

Beat the Devil(1953) dir John Huston w/Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida, Robert Morley, Peter Lorre [89 min] Many believe that Casablanca was the movie that started the Bogie cult at the Brattle but, in reality, it was the original founders’ affection for this strange, in-joke-laden cult film that kick-started our devotion to Bogie. With Morley standing in for Sidney Greenstreet, Bogie and Lorre poke fun at their onscreen personas as the three vie for a piece of land in Africa that is supposedly packed with uranium. Gloriously over-the-top, BEAT THE DEVIL is as much fun to watch as it seems it was to make.

Don’t miss Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in THE AFRICAN QUEEN, playing in a newly restored print June 24–30!
