The Devil and Daniel Webster Ratings & Reviews
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
First-rate Americana
PopMatters
Sarah Boslaugh
This devil is fun, seductive, even, and he knows it-he's always immensely pleased with himself, and he doesn't need to pressure anyone to do business with him...
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
A wonderful masterpiece. Walter Huston has a devilishly good time!
Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Jeffrey Westhoff
Huston and Arnold are superb in this stirring blend of American and Faust.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's the heavy Teutonic Faust, but made American lite in this supernatural tale.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
William Dieterle's entertaining version of the noted Stephen Vincent Benet's story, about the Devil and Daniel Webster features a strong, Oscar nominated performance by Walter Huston.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
[UPDATED 2024 BLU-RAY REVIEW] Craig's performance is downright terrible, but old pros Arnold and Huston (who scored a Best Actor Oscar nomination) pick up the pace.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Wonderfully made fantasy that strangely leaves me cold.

Jake Euker
Spooky, light-hearted, and never less than a joy to watch
Cine-Mundial
Elena de la Torre
William Dieterle has created a masterpiece in presenting the supernatural onscreen in a very natural way. [Full Review in Spanish]
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Excellent, high-class genre film.
The Blu Spot
Jeff Beck
All That Money Can Buy may follow a rather predictable trajectory, but it's easily able to rise above above it thanks to its wonderful cast and several memorable, marvelously-fashioned sequences that perfectly encapsulate the film's dark themes.
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
William Dieterle's All That Money Can Buy is a peculiar and fascinating blend of the populist agitprop of the 1930s and the patriotic hokum that defined much of the war years.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
if I were to pick the devil's greatest screen incarnation, it would have to be Walter Huston's leering, egotistical Mr. Scratch, whose snake-oil charm and seedy menace are conveyed with a wide, toothy grin, a Popeye squint, and vigorous cigar chomping
