Restored Beat the Devil Coming to Blu-Ray

After wallowing in public domain DVD prints for years, John Huston's Beat the Devil (1953) is finally getting an HD release from The Film Detective. 

Starring a cadre of A-list actors including Humphrey Bogart, Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida and Peter Lorre, Beat the Devil has attained cult status as one of hardboiled director John Huston's first (and only foray) into black comedy. 

The Film Detective will also release Hollow Triumph (1948, AKA The Scar) and Salt of the Earth (1954) on Blu-Ray for the first time as well.

Each of these was also relased on restored DVD last year. Bonus features are not anticipated and final artwork is forthcoming.

All three have a street date of July 14th.
