The Devil and Daniel Webster is a 1941 horror film based on Stephen Vincent Benet's
short story by the same name. The story can be read online
here. This adaptation is directed by William Dieterle, who starred in
Waxworks and Murnau's
Faust. I particularly noted Simone Simon, who starred in
Cat People, and Gene Lockhart, who is in
Algiers and is Mr. Cratchit in the
Reginald Owen Christmas Carol. We have
the Criterion edition.
You can
