Put Your Devil Into My Hell

About This Movie

So, 'Put Your Devil Into My Hell' is a curious blend of comedy and historical farce, set in the 14th century. You've got Ricciardetto, a charming rascal, scheming his way into the mayor's wife's bed, which leads to all sorts of trouble. It’s got that playful, almost slapstick vibe, with a pacing that keeps things lively, though it veers into absurdity at times. The performances have that theatrical flair, which really captures the essence of the period. And the practical effects? Well, they lend a certain charm that modern films sometimes miss. It’s not polished, but it gives you a flavor of the era’s cheekiness.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in the collector's market, with limited distribution and few surviving prints. Most versions floating around are on obscure labels or bootlegged copies, which adds a layer of mystique for collectors. Its quirky narrative and distinctive tone have sparked interest among niche comedy aficionados, making it a sought-after title despite its obscurity. The charm lies in its lack of polish, creating a unique experience that stands apart from mainstream offerings of its time.
