LA BURLA DEL DIABLO (1953)
12 years, 10 months ago at Nov 23 12:29
Que tanto el director como el guionista y algunos de sus principales actores pusieran el alcohol como principal protagonista de esta película durante sus reuniones fuera del rodaje, es más que apreciable con echarle un simple vistazo. Desconozco si será por el efecto del whisky en sus ya bastante desmadradas personalidades, pero la verdad es que la narración se resiente en cuanto a saltos en s... read more
Beat the Devil

From the first frame on this thing just screams “cult classic” with its pervasive close-ups of character actors, a compulsively watchable hang-out vibe, and a sense that all of the action is taking place with gigantic quotes around it.

A quartet of international crooks (Peterson, O'Hara, Ross and Ravello) are stranded in Italy whilst their steamer is being repaired. With them are the an English couple, the Dannreuthers. The 6 are headed for Africa, presumably to sell vacuum cleaners but all is not as it seems.

DVDecember 2021 (38 movies items)"First viewing - Dec. 23rd In some ways this reminded me of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I really liked the characters & thought the story was mostly well told. It's nothing great, but it's solidly entertaining & I might even watch it again. Streaming on Epix Now"

A New Decade! A New Year! Movies Watched In 2020 (641 movies items)"A group of disreputable rogues try to get rich by attempting to get uranium out of East Africa. This movie had absolutely everything going for it, including Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollabrigida, Peter Lorre, Robert Morley, directed by John Huston with a screenplay by Truman Capote. What more could you ask for? Well it isn't the classic that you think it's going to be. There is a lot of humour in the story - the situation is funny, there is some witty dialogue and there are clever "
