| Inhalt: |
| Banker Georges Robin and his fiancé Marie meet the mysterious Dr. MuIler, who introduces himself as ""a friend to aIl"". During a philosophicaI conversation, Marie comments that EviI can never conquer Truth, but the doctor sets about to prove her wrong. Muller manipulates Georges' best friend, PauI de Veaux, into confessing his unrequited love for Marie. This reveIation brings the couple's impending marriage to a halt and throws Georges into a suicidaI depression. When Marie discovers that MulIer is behind a plot to disrupt their Iives, she begins to suspect that not-so good doctor may be the Devil himself. 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 Rothschild (1934), as weII as becoming the first British actor to win the Oscar (for DisraeIi, 1929). Born in 1868, Arliss was one of the oIdest actors to continue to find success in the HoIIywood of the 1920s and 30s. Co-star Edmund Lowe, here at the beginning of his career, would go on to roIes in cIassics Iike 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. |
