Movie Title

Black comedy spy-spoof in which a group of con men try their best to swindle each other out of Uranium-rich land. A quartet of international crooks 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. Written by Truman Capote. Dir. John Huston.
