Beat the Devil (1953)

Four crooks are trying to acquire uranium-rich land in Kenya. They’ve coerced Humphrey Bogart to join them in their plans, unfortunately they are waylaid by unreliable transport from Italy and a suspicious British couple waiting for passage on the same ship. This could be a serious heist film, but instead it’s a parody of the same. Jennifer Jones is the female half of the British couple and her primary personality feature is telling stories of pure fantasy. It’s a silly farce that doesn’t overstay its welcome thanks to a fairly short runtime.
