Starring Ray Milland, Audrey Totter, Thomas Mitchell
A seductively evil Ray Milland is a devil in disguise in this unique noir take on the Faust legend, a fiendish fusion of crime thriller and dark fantasy. In his quest to clean up his city’s criminal underground, honest judge Joseph Foster (Thomas Mitchell) finds himself thwarted at every turn by corrupt political forces. Enter Nick Beal (Milland), a diabolically handsome gent with a slick line of patter and a smooth, infallible method of getting things done who makes a deal with Foster to help him become governor. But what exactly does Nick want? And how far is Foster willing to go in his quest for political power?
