My Thoughts:
I don't want to say this is a bad short film... but I was definitely expecting more from it. Especially what with how much I enjoyed the movie Van Helsing. The storyline just didn't grab me as much as it should have. If I saw this short before the movie I wouldn't have been in as big of a hurry to watch the movie when it was released. I can see myself watching this again... but not as often as some of the other films in my collection.My Rating:

Beat the Devil, a review by addicted2dvd
Beat the Devil
A quartet of international crooks -- Peterson, O'Hara, Ross and Ravello -- is stranded in Italy while their steamer is being repaired. With them are the Dannreuthers. The six are headed for Africa, presumably to sell vacuum cleaners but actually to buy land supposedly loaded with uranium. They are joined by others who apparently have similar designs.
Stars:
Humphrey Bogart
Jennifer Jones
Gina Lollobrigida
Robert Morley
Peter Lorre
My Thoughts:
OK... I tried... honest I did. But I just could not get into this movie to save me. I found it extremely slow and boring. And with the stars that are in this movie I had expected at least a decent movie. But I found myself looking up at the clock to see how much more I had to endure so I could review this movie. After looking up to the clock about 10 times and seeing only half an hour gone by I knew I had to give this one up. There was just no way I felt I could get through it. I was either going to need to shut it off or I would have fallen asleep from boredom. Thank God I didn't spend any money on this DVD... as it was on of the free movies I got in that boxset for buying Total Movie magazine. I am feeling a little generous though... instead of rating this movie a zero... I will give it half a star. And this is do to no more then the fact that there is some great classic stars in this movie... so I will give it half a star for the star power in this movie alone.
