Walter Huston is marvelous in this one!

A real fun American folk Tale told as a patriotic parable. The devil was fun/well cast in this and this is just a really well made jingoistic folk tale. Not a ton of things to say about this. Nothing special but I just it hit all the marks as a folk tale. I am a fan of folk tales so maybe I am bias.
