Featured review
Enjoyable but very old fashioned.
I watched "The Devil" for one huge reason...it stars George Arliss. Although he's pretty much forgotten today, he was an amazing actor...perhaps the best of the silent and early sound actors. Many of his films are charming and wonderful. "The Devil", sadly, is not among his best...mostly because it is so old fashioned and dated.
Dr. Muller (Arliss) spends the entire film manipulating and destroying people for kicks. His main thrust is destroying the two women who love Paul (Edmund Lowe)...and he assumes that he can predict exactly what the outcome will be.
The story idea is okay....but if you want a better Devilish tale, try F.W. Murnau's "Faust"...it's timeless, whereas "The Devil" seems a bit dated and silly.
