 Tagline: The devil is in the details.
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. --- Albert Einstein
A down-and-out writer (Anthony Hopkins) sells his soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune.
Jabez (“Bez”) Stone (Alec Baldwin) wasn’t a great writer, but he poured his soul into every word he wrote. Struggling to get published, he rose every morning to work on his book before going off to sell expensive men’s clothing that he himself could not afford. Women weren’t particularly interested in him, he had a little over $500 in the bank, but he had great friends, a good heart, and self-respect. And then everything went to Hell.
In a single day Bez lost his job, sat through a demoralizing lunch with his wealthy younger brother, and was nearly thrown out of Webster Books for trying to meet the legendary publisher Daniel Webster, who had just rejected his manuscript. And things only got worse.
Hoping to be cheered up by his friends at their favorite bar, Bez finds out his buddy Julius Jensen (Dan Aykroyd) just signed a $190,000 book deal with Webster’s most glamorous editor Constance Hurry (Kim Cattrall). More dejected than ever, Bez leaves the bar and stops at an ATM to discover he’s only got a buck fifty to his name!
