Poor James Craig. Louis B. Mayer anointed him as the next Clark Gable in the mid-β40s, but most of his MGM films flopped and he never became a major star. Heβs very good in #AllThatMoneyCanBuy. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social
Walter Huston out here lookin like a cross between a goat and a pixie, the perfect trickster. #AllThatMoneyCanBuy #TheDevilAndDanielWebster

Oh cool, they've included the solarized(?) inserts of Old Scratch

#AllThatMoneyCanBuy (a.k.a. #TheDevilAndDanielWebster) suffers from the same problem as #ConfidentialReport (a.k.a. #MrArkadin): the actor playing the erstwhile protagonist isn't quite charismatic enough

"An American citizen cannot be forced into the service of a foreign prince."
"'Foreign'? Who calls me a foreigner?"

I wonder if Herk Harvey saw #TheDevilAndDanielWebster, a.k.a. #AllThatMoneyCanBuy, before he made #CarnivalOfSouls? They both deploy silence to eerie effect and have memorable dance macabres

For Mr. Scratch's frenzied fiddling at the party, a violinist played the same tune in three different keys and then the recordings were combined

Say a prayer for Dorothy, who apparently was wished into the cornfield to make way for Belle From Over The Mountain

I wonder if Charles Laughton saw #TheDevilAndDanielWebster, a.k.a. #AllThatMoneyCanBuy, before he directed #TheNightOfTheHunter? They both have a folklore/fairytale atmosphere created in part by shifting between realism and expressionism

The rest of the cast is so great β Walter Huston! Edward Arnold! Anne Shirley! Jane Darwell! Simone Simon! John Qualen! β that James Craig can't help but be the weak link, which is awkward when you're playing the central character
#TheDevilAndDanielWebster #AllThatMoneyCanBuy #TCMParty
James Craig isn't a bad actor, but I do think #TheDevilAndDanielWebster would be even better with someone like James Stewart or Henry Fonda as Jabez Stone
