Yiddish Film

G-d, Man and Devil (Got, Mentsh, un Tayvel)

USA, 1949
77 minutes | B&W
Yiddish with English subtitles

Director: Joseph Seiden 
Music: Sholem Secunda

Restoration and new English subtitles:
The National Center for Jewish Film

Based on a play by Jacob Gordin, God, Man and Devil centers on a wager between God and Satan that has dire consequences. Beware, the film cautions, when money sounds sweeter than music.

"... an all-star version of Jacob Gordin's God, Man and Devil was likely the costliest production of Seiden's career, and, thanks to his choice of material, also the best."
- J. Hoberman, Bridge of LIght
