What happens
L'Homme qui vendit son âme au diable (The Man Who Sold His Soul to the Devil) is a 1921 French silent film comedy directed by Pierre Caron. The plot was similar to Faust and The Student of Prague, about a man who makes a diabolical deal with the Devil. The film was made in 1920, but only released in France in 1921. For some reason, it was not shown in the US until 1926, where it was released as The Man Who Sold His Soul to the Devil. It was later remade in France in 1943. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
