Review of The Devil's Cabaret

Down in Hades, sinisterly-clad Charles Middleton (as Satan) is upset because too many people are going to Heaven. Despite the lure of sin, Hell is "in the red." Accenting the first word in his title, vice-president Eddie Buzzell (as Howie Burns) is employed to drum up some business. "The Devil's Cabaret" begins with one-liners. Soon, a bevy of attractive young women strip to their underwear and dance. The jazz-age music and fun works, and people being sliding into Hell again… This great "Novelty" (short) was salvaged from an aborted feature. The "two-strip" Technicolor and sets are outstanding for this type of film. Other notables include new Hollywood composer Dimitri Tiomkin and hot "Satan & Co., Inc" secretary Mary Carlisle.
