The “Beauty of the Devil” (1950) is a French movie in which a helper of the devil changes places with Professor Faust, who becomes youthful. The Prince sends for the old Faust (this devil’s assistant):
“Be seated, Professor…”
“Our coffers are empty. See what we pay with?”
“Paper!” [Stacks of paper money on his desk that Faust touches.]
“An excellent idea, Your Highness!”
“Soon this paper will have no value. We need gold.”
“To work, Professor!”
