Overview
After straight-arrow district attorney Joseph Foster says in frustration that he would sell his soul to bring down a local mob boss, a smooth-talking stranger named Nick Beal shows up with enough evidence to seal a conviction. When that success leads Foster to run for governor, Beal’s unearthly hold on him turns the previously honest man corrupt, much to the displeasure of his wife and his steadfast minister.

Viewing Notes
Was glad to make it to my second night at the Noir City Chicago film series… thought I’d miss the first of the double feature due to my work event. So happy to catch this not-on-DVD supernatural tinged flick with the devil Nick Beal pulling the political strings to harbor the souls of otherwise good human beings. Some great comedy beats. Super enjoyable movie!
