The devil on screen
feature films worldwide, 1913 through 2000
by Mitchell, Charles P.
"The Devil has been represented in many film genres, including horror, comedy, the musical, fantasy, satire, drama, and the religious epic, and in these works has assumed many shapes and forms.".
"This work explores in detail feature films from the year 1913 through the year 2000 that depict the devil. It begins with an overview that discusses how the Devil has been portrayed on stage, how that portrayal carried over to the big screen, and what are the standard elements of a satanic plot. Each entry in the filmography includes such particulars as the year of the production, running time, and the names of the writer, editor, cinematographer, producer, and director.
An evaluative rating, annotated cast list, plot synopsis, and film appraisal are also provided for each film, as well as a spotlight on the performance of the actor playing the role of Satan."--BOOK JACKET.
