1.0 out of 5 stars Poor transfer, November 5, 2009

ONE STAR is for the poor transfer. Take my word for it - buying this so called "remastered" classic film is a waste of money. I opted for this more expensive edition thinking I'd get a decent print. Instead, it was of such poor quality - constantly breaking up, and at time completely stopping, I gave up watching. An old copy I have from TV is far superior.
Amazon should be ashamed they listed this item for sale.
Go for the cheaper version - I doubt it could be worse.

4.0 out of 5 stars A superb cult movie from start to finish!, March 9, 2011

This review is from: Beat The Devil (DVD)

"Beat the devil" is a landmark movie. A film that may be regarded as a satire of the Maltese falcon, spiced with acidic lines and touches of surrealistic vignettes all the way through.

I wouldn't dare to affirm this movie was extremely close in what European taste concerns with Moulin Rouge, of the same director. Elegant, refined and filmed with genuine panache and unsurpassable style in the mood of great tradition of the highest class standards of black humor.

That's why the main reason this is -with The Maltese falcon- the two most reminded cult movies of this legendary director.

This black-and-white movie from the 50s is over the top, has a splendid cast, and, if you can put up with its production flaws, is hysterically funny. Everybody is trying to "con" everybody else, and nothing works out for anyone. Wonderful!
