=== Screen === Two film adaptations have been made: An [[Academy Award]]-winning [[The Devil and Daniel Webster (film)|1941 film]] first released under the title ''[[All That Money Can Buy]]'', starring [[Edward Arnold (actor)|Edward Arnold]] as [[Daniel Webster|Daniel]], [[Walter Huston]] as [[Satan|Mr. Scratch]], [[James Craig (actor)|James Craig]] as Jabez Stone, and [[Simone Simon]] as Belle. ''[[Shortcut to Happiness]]'' is a modernized version set in the publishing world, starring [[Anthony Hopkins]] as a publisher named Daniel Webster, [[Alec Baldwin]] as a best-selling (via the devil) but terrible author named Jabez Stone, and [[Jennifer Love Hewitt]] as a female version of the devil. This version was made in 2001, but was halted before completion, before finally being completed and given a limited release in 2007. An animated TV film loosely based on the story, ''[[The Devil and Daniel Mouse]]'', was released in 1978. Phil Reisman, Jr. adapted the story for a live televised performance of "The Devil and Daniel Webster" on the ''Breck Sunday Showcase'' (NBC, February 14, 1960, 60 min), starring [[Edward G. Robinson]] (Daniel Webster), [[David Wayne]] (Mr. Scratch), and [[Tim O'Connor (actor)|Tim O'Connor]] (Jabez Stone). A color videorecording of the production aired two years later on ''Breck Golden Showcase'' (CBS, April 30, 1962).<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://ctva.biz/US/Anthology/SundayShowcase.htm|title = CTVA US Anthology - "Sunday Showcase" (NBC)(1959-60)|date = n.d.|access-date = 24 September 2015|website = CTVA - The Classic TV Archive}}</ref>
