Shout at the Devil (1976)

Plot: In 1914 East Africa, an Irish-American adventurer and an English aristocrat take on the Germans.
Stars:  Lee Marvin, Roger Moore,  Barbara Parkins
Best Quote:  Its a big, dumb, silly movie that's impossible to dislike. It's so cheerfully corny, so willing to involve its heroes in every possible predicament, that after awhile we relax - Roger Ebert

Enjoyable, but way too long (150 minute) African-war adventure film. Marvin plays the drunken rogue, and Moore the charming hero, well enough - the two have good chemistry.  But we need more. The direction/editing are barely adequate, and there's little characterization or wit. On the plus side, some action scenes are good, and I always love movies in Africa. But we get too much padding**, Inexplicably, the comic-villain German turns baby killer - a jarring note in an otherwise lighthearted war-adventure movie.

Summary:  Best viewed after a few drinks at the local Pub. Moore, Marvin, and the African scenery are good - everything else is average. Shout at the Devil was a great idea for an action movie with a great cast. It should be better than it is.

** = Supposedly 30 minutes were cut for the American Theaters.
