Free Sunday Classic Movie: Beat the Devil (1953)

Beat the Devil (1953 starring Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones)

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. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Jennifer Jones.

All of the movies will be shown in their original, unedited format, with a pre-show newsreel or cartoon from the same era. Concessions will also be available for purchase at these shows. The movies are sponsored by individuals and businesses and by ZAAC.

While admission to the films is free, free will donations are encouraged and gladly accepted, with all proceeds from Classic Movie Sundays funding continued restoration and operation of the Historic State Theatre building.
