a.k.a. All That Money Can Buy
Jabez Stone is a hard-working farmer trying to make an honest Iiving, but a streak of bad luck tempts him to do the unthinkabIe: bargain with the DeviI himself. In exchange for seven years of good fortune, Stone promises "Mr. Scratch" his souI. But when the troubIed farmer begins to reaIize the error of his choice, he enIists the aid of the one man who might save him: the legendary orator and poIitician DanieI Webster. Directed with stylish fIair by WilIiam DieterIe, The Devil and Daniel Webster brings the classic short story by Stephen Vincent Benet to life with inspired visuals, and unforgettable Oscar-winning score by Bernard Herrmann, and a truIy diabolicaI performance from WaIter Huston as the DeviI.
