Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Beware this version
This version of the film, from ROAN, should be avoided. The hour and 41 minute original is here chopped to an hour and 30 minutes. A mutilated film is no bargain at any price.
Rating:  - Why not rate the Media Quality?????
This is a great movie...but Most people already know this....Older movies don't need a review of the movie itself but we do need reviews on the Media itself...ie; how is the quality of this version....vs. other versions (others Studios).
So which copy is better, the Alpha Video (I doubt it), Vci Video, ROAN, Passport Video, Unicorn Video, Reel Classic Films, Synergy Ent, Passion Productions or Quality Information Publishers Inc?????
cripes 9 damn different copies....what's up here.... ... Read More
Rating:  - Wonderful old movie
One of the best movies ever made about good and evil. A gangster winds up in hell only to be recruited by satan to return to the land of the living to do the devil's bidding - but it all backfires.

I you were raised Catholic then you will recognize the title as you have a devil on one shoulder and an angle on the other and you are struggling in the middle.
There is great interaction between Paul Muni and Claude Rains. This move ... Read More
Rating: - Intelligent, Great writing, poor DVD
Paul Muni, Ann Baxter and Claude Rains. This excellent cast and great story deserve a better quality DVD. There are some pretty silly movies out there in this supernatural genre ('Beyond Tommorow' with Aubrey Smith comes to mind). These 'silly' movies are a thoughless mish mash of new age / Biblical/ and everything in between. Pure incoherence, whatever one's religious views.
This story is brilliant: it has chosen the Bible's perspective on sin, good and evil, and it sticks with it ... Read More
