About Devil & Daniel Webster
Hailed as an instant classic, this Academy Award®-winning film adaptation of Stephen Vincent Benet's folk story is an American version of the Faust legend. In 1840's New Hampshire, a young farmer signs a seven-year contract with the Devil in exchange for gold. Walter Huston's brilliant performance as the mischievous Mr. Scratch (the Devil) is equaled by Edward Arnold's fine portrayal of Daniel Webster, the famous 19th-century advocate who, in a memorable climax, fights to save the young farmer's soul before a jury of the damned. This acclaimed restoration has been pieced together from various existing print sources to provide the most complete version available. The result is a finer film, richer in detail, drama, and magic. Digitally remastered at The Tape House, New York City, supervised by Bruce Eder and Karen Rosen.
