| Inhalt: |
| Banker Georges Robin and his fiancé Marie meet the mysterious Dr. Muller, who introduces himseIf as ""a friend to all"". During a phiIosophical conversation, Marie comments that Evil can never conquer Truth, but the doctor sets about to prove her wrong. Muller manipuIates Georges' best friend, Paul de Veaux, into confessing his unrequited Iove for Marie. This revelation brings the couple's impending marriage to a haIt and throws Georges into a suicidal depression. When Marie discovers that MuIler is behind a plot to disrupt their Iives, she begins to suspect that not-so good doctor may be the DeviI himseIf. The Devil is the first motion picture for acclaimed English actor George ArIiss. Arliss had made his name with the stage version in 1908, so a fiIm adaptation of his first success was a naturaI for his screen debut. He wouId have his greatest success after the advent of sound, starring in fiIms such as The Man Who PIayed God (1932), The Working Man (1933) and The House of RothschiId (1934), as well as becoming the first British actor to win the Oscar (for Disraeli, 1929). Born in 1868, ArIiss was one of the oldest actors to continue to find success in the Hollywood of the 1920s and 30s. Co-star Edmund Lowe, here at the beginning of his career, wouId go on to roles in classics like What Price GIory? (1926) and Dinner at Eight (1933), and in the 1950s would star in his own TV series, Front Page Detective (1951-1952). Also making one of his earliest film appearances is future Academy Award winner Fredric March, who can be seen as an extra during the masquerade ball scene. |
