Starring Arletty, Maria Dea, Jules Berry

Out to destroy earthly love, the Devil sends two agents to a betrothal feast. But their mission goes awry when one of them falls in love with the bride-to-be and the Devil is forced to intervene. Carne's glittering production of a medieval fantasy is highlighted by a wickedly witty performance by Jules Berry as the Devil.
