A poor farmer (James Craig) is tempted by the Devil (Walter Huston) but rescued by lawyer Daniel Webster (Edward Arnold). |

| Maybe this update of the Faust legend could have done with a lighter touch; but tremendous performances, entertaining special effects and a great score (Bernard Herrmann's only Oscar-winner) combine with an ingenious script and stylish, expressionist direction to make this a minor classic. It was a commercial flop on release. | |
