Here is a story that has "got heart". As entertaining as they come. Basically a die hard baseball fan says he would give his soul for his favorite team, The Senators, to have big player so they can win some games. So the devil shows up to oblige. The music is catchy and feels hear felt in a sort of contrived way. Our hero Joe Hardy (Tab Hunter) is a all American cat as well as a newly endowed All American ball player. He becomes such through the efforts of Mr. Applegate, played by the wonderful Ray Walston, who uses his power and influence to shoot him straight to the top. Mr. Hardy is sensually assaulted buy, the supposed to be but surprisingly not so sultry to me, Lola (Gwen Verdon). Long-short it is a quite entertaining older film for anyone who like baseball, musical, or older movies. You'll get what you aim for from this adaptation.
