Eureka Entertainment have announced the UK DVD release of William Dieterle’s The Devil and Daniel Webster as part of their Masters of Cinema Series on 23rd February 2009 priced at £19.99. A morality tale for the ages, William Dieterle’s The Devil and Daniel Webster (aka All That Money Can Buy) is based on a short story by celebrated author Stephen Vincent Benet and offers a study in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, in which patriotism is cast in dramatic conflict with servitude to greed and materialism.

* The director’s cut (the film was severely shorn after its original release)
* Optimal digital transfer with restored image and sound
* Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing
* A lavish 60-page booklet with archival publicity stills; an essay by professor Tony Williams; an article by director William Dieterle; and a celebration of the film by author Stephen Vincent Benet, whose “The Devil and Daniel Webster” short story is reprinted in its entirety
