Cute Faustian fairy-tale, weakened by an anticlimactic ending.

I do like how it opens with someone exclaiming “I’d sell my soul for (person) to love me.” Up pops the Devil, and I thought “well, this story is certainly wasting no time.” Only then it segued to a different person exclaiming rhetorically about their willingness to sell their soul, and the Devil (apparently under legal obligation) popping up again.

By the third time it happens, the Devil is griping: “Why does everyone in this town keep trying to sell me their soul?! I’m running out of storage space! And the soul market is really weak this season!”

Apparently shadows are more desirable, and he buys one off some dude who is literally named Schlemiel, and who sounds like Peter Lorre (but isn’t, based on the rapid list of cast members at the end).

Anyway, 8 out of 10 – would have been higher but for the lack of a good punch line at the end of the twenty-odd-minute run time.
