Vincent Price plays the debonair devil, Mr. Scratch, trying to prove mankind is ultimately evil, and he is in typically fine form. It's a perfect role for him.
Other members of the cast- John Carradine as an Egyptian pharoh, Harpo Marx as Isaac Newton, Peter Lorre as Nero, Groucho Marx as a Pilgrim, Heddy Lamar as Joan of Arc, Agnes Moorhead as Queen Elisabeth and Dennis Hopper as Napoleon.
Not really a great movie, but fun to watch for all the star cameos.
Directed by Irwin Allen.
