Les visiteurs du soir / The Devil’s Envoys (1942) DVD9 and Blu-Ray Criterion Collection

Les visiteurs du soir 1942
In the year 1485, the Devil sends two of his envoys to drive people to despair. Disguised as minstrels, they enter the castle of Baron Hughes (Fernand Ledoux), who is getting ready to marry his beautiful daughter Anne (Marie Dea).

During a lavish banquet, Baron Hughes invites Dominique (the legendary Arletty) and Gilles (Alain Cuny) to sing for Anne and her fiancee Renaud (Marcel Herrand). Gilles chooses a beautiful love song that quickly melts Anne's heart.

Later that night, the Devil's envoys use their magic and separate Anne and Renaud. Gilles forces Anne to fall in love with him, while Dominique puts a spell on Renaud and he accepts a ring from her that will always remind him of her. But in the days that follow something unusual happens - mesmerized by her purity and beauty, Gilles falls madly in love with Anne. The Devil (Jules Berry), who has been observing quietly his envoys from afar, immediately leaves his lair and heads to Earth.
