Playing as part of Academy Cinemas' 'Bogie Abroad' film series, showcasing the best of Humphrey Bogart's overseas cinematic adventures June 17th - July 15th.
As one of a disparate group of fortune-seekers bound for Africa, hard-up Billy Dannreuther (Humphrey Bogart) faces the swindling machinations of his fellow travellers as they await passage from a picturesque port on Italy's Amalfi coast. But with scheming aplenty, will this motley crew miss the boat completely?
Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida and Peter Lorre join Bogart among the star-studded cast.
