The Story

Stranded in an Italian port, a band of swindlers and a lying English couple circle a fortune in African land.

John Huston's deadpan spoof of intrigue strands Billy Dannreuther among four con men plotting to seize uranium-rich territory, with only a broken-down ship standing between them and their prize. As Billy drifts into a flirtation with the fantasist Gwendolen, her tall tales begin to rattle the whole nervous scheme. A shaggy, sun-baked comedy with Humphrey Bogart, scripted by Truman Capote.
