	The Devil and Daniel Webster
		WEBSTER (smiling, his fl eyes flashing their lightning of humor to the Squire at his side) I don't seem to be so very popular after all -- in Cross Corners.
		It is obvious that Webster, in a very pleasant way, is a little under the weather, for he slumps down in the front seat of the buggy, holding the cup a little unsteadily in his hand.
		WEBSTER Well -- it's high and it's wide and it goes a long way and there is a wind blowing through it and a blue roof over it -- it's the hills up here and the rivers running south and the new States growing in the West.

		Directed with stylish flair by William Dieterle, The Devil and Daniel Webster brings the classic short story by Stephen Vincent Benet to life with inspired visuals, an unforgettable Oscar-winning score by Bernard Herrmann, and a truly diabolical performance from Walter Huston as the Devil.
		Devil, however, expands upon the story from Steven Vincent Benet, mostly in its decidedly pro-socialist bent.

		The Devil and Daniel Webster originally released as All That Money Can Buy because of the Bible Belt's resistance to mentioning the debbil, was also cut into pieces and respliced to remove "objectionable" elements on a number of occasions.
		Daniel Webster (Edward Arnold) is an ancillary character to all these goings on which mainly concern Stone and his immediate neighbors as well as frequent visits from Mr.
		Apparently, and you history buffs can correct me, Daniel Webster was the image of rectitude in the middle 1800's and he was in line for the U.S. presidency until he supported the Missouri Compromise where Missouri was allowed into the Union as a slave state and Kansas as a non-slave state.

	The Devil and Daniel Webster by Stephen Vincent Benet
		Webster!" he said, and his voice was shaking with fear and a desperate courage.
		Dan'l Webster had faced some hard juries and hanging judges in his time, but this was the hardest he'd ever faced, and he knew it.
		And to one, his voice was like the forest and its secrecy, and to another like the sea and the storms of the sea; and one heard the cry of his lost nation in it, and another saw a little harmless scene he hadn't remembered for years.

	The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941): Edward Arnold, Walter Huston, James Craig - PopMatters Film Review
		The Devil and Daniel Webster was released in 1941, during a brief time of unusual creativity for the film industry, producing, among many others, Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz in 1939, The Maltese Falcon and Citizen Kane in 1941.
		The latter seems a psychotic leprechaun completely in touch with the craven desires of the common man. Webster, on the other hand, is a rotund son of the soil, complicated by his cultured mind and rum on his breath.
		Both are politicians: Webster is a sitting Congressman with dreams of the White House, and Scratch is the fallen angel with schemes to reclaim his spot in the heavenly hierarchy.

	The Devil and Daniel Webster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yet later on, Daniel Webster's appeal to the jury on "what it means to be American" completely and unreservably includes King Philip among "the Americans" (which is an anachronism as the historical Daniel Webster would have been unlikely to express such an opinion).
		All the predictions the devil makes are based on actual events of Daniel Webster's life: He did have ambitions to become President, his sons died in war, and as a result of a speech he gave denouncing abolitionists, many in the North considered him a traitor.
		Daniel Webster in this book was a character in defining the treatment of Indians in his opinion, and the devil sold his sole to the devil and eventually Webster killed in himself.

	The Devil And Daniel Webster - Movie Review
		In this folklore New England, the devil is a real thing, like a fox that steals hens or a dog that barks at nights, and if you want to make a deal with him, it’ s not too hard to do.
		The devil is in the details though, and anyone who’ s ever seen a movie knows there’s going to be Hell to pay.
		The film’s centerpiece is a trial before a hanging judge and a jury of the damned, with Webster (wonderfully played by Edward Arnold) representing Jabez and Scratch pleading his own case with a contract signed in blood.

		That's the hook of William Dieterle's Devil and Daniel Webster (1941), based on the short story by Stephen Vincent Benet.
		But folk legend Daniel Webster (Edward Arnold) gets involved in his life after Jabez becomes one of the richest men in America, and when the Devil comes to collect his due, Webster stakes his own soul alongside Jabez's.
		Dieterle was a German émigré, and the influence of German Expressionism is evident throughout Daniel Webster, heightening the emotions of this set-bound film.

		When the deadline for payment finally closes in, Jabez panics and solicits the aid of legendary lawyer Daniel Webster (Arnold), who accepts the case under extremely perilous circumstances: if he loses the case before a jury of famous damned men, both the lawyer and his client lose their souls to Old Scratch.
		The Devil and Daniel Webster was released the same year as Citizen Kane and in many respects is the horror/fantasy equivalent to that legendary film.
		Eventually Criterion restored the film to an approximation of its original condition with a welcome laserdisc in the company's early days, the 85 minutes of pristine material were fleshed out with recovered 16mm footage of the excised scenes, resulting in a patchwork of a vital cinema classic.

	The Devil and Daniel Webster, Currier & Ives etc - Bernard Herrmann (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Devil and Daniel Webster is about a man who sells his soul to Mr Scratch and it isn't even one of Herrmann's most well known works (how Psycho, Vertigo or Citizen Kane and several others could not have won Oscars seems nothing short of criminal).
		The more vigorous moments are all written as dances, albeit dances with the Devil, thus full of darker and mischievous overtones, most notably in the energetic Swing Your Partners.
		Most Herrmann fans are likely to already have at least a couple of tracks from The Devil and Daniel Webster, but the playing here is of sufficient quality to recommend a new take on the material.

		Though of the past, The Devil and Daniel Webster is not without its delicious charms.
		After the requisite seven years, Scratch comes for Stone’s soul, but Daniel Webster aids him, arguing his case in front of the aforementioned evil courtroom.
		Edward Arnold is blustery and commanding as Stone, though I kept wondering what George C. Scott might have done with this role, had he been the right age at the time the film was made.
