#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

Walter Huston's Mr. Scratch has the BEST facial expressions

My two film discoveries this week have been #TheDevilAndDanielWebster and #TheScarletEmpress. I love that they're both so frankly unrealistic. #TCMParty
"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

I dearly love #TheDevilAndDanielWebster but tonight's show has been rained out and I need escapism so we've opted for #Roberta on blu so I'm listening to Irene singing in Russian instead. Bless you all. #TCMParty
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

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

Besides Henry Clay, Daniel Webster was Lincolnβs favorite politician. Lincoln admired Websterβs ability to persuade people with his speeches and his loyalty to the Union and Constitution.

Anne Shirley will always be "Swamp Girl" to me. #TheDevilAndDanielWebster #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

Thereβs Olivia de Havillandβs other sister, Anne Shirley.
