The Sorrows of Satan
Based On the book by Marie Corelli
The Sorrows of Satan is a 1917 British silent fantasy film directed by Alexander Butler and starring Gladys Cooper, Owen Nares and Cecil Humphreys. Made at Isleworth Studios, and based on the novel of the same name, the plot involves a poverty-stricken author so depressed that he agrees to sell his soul to the Devil. The 1895 novel by Marie Corelli depicted the Devil sympathetically, a controversial choice that spurred significant sales. In the commercially successful film adaptation, Satan appears as a handsome, wealthy prince.
