Liebe Tod and Teufel (1935)

Liebe Tod and Teufel (1935)
The English-language title of this complex German romantic melodrama is Love, Death and the Devil. After three years at sea, sailor Kaethe Von Nagy stops over at a strange novelty shop where he comes into possession of an old, old bottle. Legend has it that the genie in the bottle will grant three wishes, whereupon the owner's soul will be turned over to Satan until said owner is able to sell the bottle for a lower price to someone else. Thanks to his new possession, Von Nagy inherits a fortune and marries gorgeous native girl Brigette Horney. But when it becomes obvious that he and Horney will be forever damned unless he gets rid of the bottle, he searches around desperately for a buyer. Alas, the most recent asking price for the bottle was a half-penny -- and there's nothing of lower value than that! Liebe Tod and Teufel is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's The Bottle Imp. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
