Rating: C+ --
It looks like it's going to be a riot, but turns out almost laugh free.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It operates under the assumption that everyone in it is drunk, lusty, a little crooked, and a little crazy, and once you tune in to their wavelength, it's fun to just hang out with them for an hour and a half.

Rating: 1/5 --
An all-star home movie.
Film Threat
Their production is sheer picaresque adventure, which darts from point to point as their fancy takes it -- and sparkles with mordant humor.

Daily Telegraph (Australia)
Rating: 2.5/5 --
You have to wonder what Capote and John Huston were thinking in trying to make a satire that didn't have any actual jokes.

An informal comedy that is at times critical, entertaining, and even discursive. [Full Review in Spanish]

Product Description:
John Huston and Truman Capote co-wrote the screenplay while working on location. A whimsical parody of The Maltese Falcon and other 1940's detective movies in which Bogart so often starred (and Huston directed).Tells of the exploits of a group of travelers on a steamboat who each hopes to carry off a huge swindle in the uranium fields of Northern Africa. While not a commercial success upon its release, the film has come to define the genre of spy movie spoofs.
Also includes a biographical documentary, HUMPHREY BOGART ON FILM, presented by Tony Curtis.
