Beat the Devil is a 1953 adventure comedy film directed by John Huston and starring Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones and Gina Lollobrigida in her American debut. Huston and Truman Capote wrote the screenplay, loosely based upon the 1951 novel of the same name by British journalist Claud Cockburn writing under the pseudonym James Helvick. Huston intended the film as a sort of loose parody of his 1941 film The Maltese Falcon, which also starred Bogart. Capote said, "John [Huston] and I decided to kid the story, to treat it as a parody. Instead of another Maltese Falcon, we turned it into a... [spoof] on this type of film."

Interesting movie. I first saw it shortly after seeing Raiders Of The Lost Ark, and I had to notice the similarities.

Yah, I just watched it for the first time here. Very much like most Bogey / Huston movies. Enjoyable and great dialog. I didn't really get how this is a parody though, at least not in any really obvious way.
