Judge for yourself.

This story is about Eddy Kagle, who based his way of living on what Omar Khayyam once said: “Live fully while you may and reckon not the cost”. Nick (Claude Rains), never satisfied with the number of soles caught, has his hat set for an incorruptible judge. He will recruit Eddie Kagle to replace Judge Fredrick Parker (both played by Paul Muni) in exchange for a second chance at life. If you were raised Catholic, then you will recognize the title as you have a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, and you are struggling in the middle. There is great interaction between Paul Muni and Claude Rains. This movie takes unexpected twists and turns. It may remind you a little of "The Devil and Daniel Webster "(1941). However, no one can play "Nick" as well as Claude Rains does. I rather like the way they return to the surface. I never trusted those types of elevators. Before you write off Anne Baxter as just another personality in this film, remember that she was also Nefertiri in "The Ten Commandments" (1956)
