(What Lola Wants) starring
Tab Hunter

This American reworking of the Faust legend into the story of the baseball fan who made a pact with the devil, became a highly successful Broadway musical.
Joe Boyd , a middle-aged business-man, would give anything to see the Washington Senators win the coveted pennant from the Yankees baseball team. When an elegant stranger offers him just that, it is an offer Joe cannot refuse - but he has not been selling insurance for 20 years without learning a trick or two himself.
Music and lyrics by RICHARD ADLER and JERRY ROSS Produced and directed by STANLEY DONEN and GEORGE ABBOTT Films: page 23
