The Devil (1918 film)
''The Devil'' ((ハンガリー語:Az ördög)) (1918) is an Hungarian film directed by Michael Curtiz. Later, the film was shot for American audiences by "Franz" Ferenc Molnar, in 1921 and starred George Arliss, in his film debut.〔(Silent Era entry )〕
This film was considered to be a lost film. However, the film was recently rediscovered, and is currently being edited and remastered for release in 2011.〔(IMDB entry )〕
==Production background==
From the original ad campaign, "Here is a story mounted in settings and scenes of splendor and luxury. A story that is as old as yesterday; as true as today; and as new as tomorrow. A production of real mark and unexcelled distinction. As the central figure George Arliss is an unforgettable picture of fiendish, subtle, domineering and diabolic ingenuity; of cunning, sardonic and unrelenting resourcefulness. Yet he is the suave, charming, polished and artistic Devil."
This satiric drama was based on the 1908 play by Ferenc Molnar that launched Arliss on Broadway, and was used to entice him into his very first (of many) films. Earlier versions were made by no less than Thomas Edison and D.W. Griffith. The original play title was "The Devil; A Comedy in Three Acts." In an interview from Motion Picture World, January 1921, Mr. Arliss told reporters he decided to go into films, after being impressed by the work of Charlie Chaplin. The director then made a screen test to show Arliss how intimate the camera was, and how it exaggerated gestures. Arliss said films would probably lead to better acting on the stage, when actors could study their technique on the big screen.
