Great guy Dieterle. One of the most bizarre Hollywood films (it begins with a little pig that breaks his foot), wonderfully casted, Ed Arnold is brilliant talking and sleeping, Simone Simon is cat people years before.

Jabez Stone is a hard-working farmer trying to make an honest living, but a streak of bad luck tempts him to do the unthinkable: bargain with the Devil himself. For seven years of good fortune, Stone promises 'Mr. Scratch' his soul when the contract ends. When the troubled farmer begins to realize the error of his choice, he enlists the aid of the one man who might save him: the legendary orator and politician Daniel Webster

"22.3 Yhdysvallat/Dieterle Hollywoodinnos Faust-legendasta löi aivan puun takaa kanveesiin. Murnaun Faustissakin esiintynyt, vaarallisen vasemmalla ollut taiteilijaemigrantti Dieterle ohjasi New Hampshiren maaseudulle sijoittuvan ilottelevan, maagisen, eskpressionistisen, sadunomaisen Faust-mukaelman. Pökkelö rehupuntti myy sielunsa Saatanalle seitsemästä onnen vuodesta ja turmeltuu vuosi vuodelta pinnallisemmaksi, turhamaisemmaksi ja ahneemmaksi. Elokuvan Saatana on ehkä elokuvahistorian "

PopMatter's Essential Film Performances - 2012 (50 movies items)

"THE DARK SIDE Walter Huston Film history is rife with stories of now-classic films ill-treated by their studios because they just didn’t know what they had. William Dieterle’s 1941 The Devil and Daniel Webster, a surprisingly unconventional take on Stephen Vincent Benét’s short story, deserves a place of honor in their company, if not quite next to The Magnificent Ambersons and Blade Runner, then at least somewhere on the same shelf. Walter Huston’s performance as the charming, urbane,"
