The Devil and Miss Jones
11. 5. 1941 (1941-05-11)
Sjedinjene DržaveThe Devil and Miss Jones (sh. Vrag i gospođica Jones) je američka crno-bijela filmska komedija snimljena 1941. u režiji Sama Wooda, poznat kao jedno od rijetkih klasičnih hollywoodskih ostvarenja eksplicitno ljevičarske orijentacije. Protagonist, koga tumači Charles Coburn je vlasnik trgovine i najbogatiji čovjek na svijetu, koji, čuvši da netko u njegovim trgovinama potajno pokušava osnovati sindikat, odlučuje pronaći moguće krivce tako da se pod lažnim identitetom infiltrira među zaposlenike. Radnja pokazuje kako kao običan radnik postaje izložen maltretiranju i zlostavljanju u toj mjeri da i sam odluči pokrenuti sindikat. Film je snimljen u produkciji samog Wooda, koji je zajedno sa Normanom Krasnom podigao kredit kod banke. Kasnije je doživio komercijalni uspjeh. Coburn i Jean Arthur, koja u filmu tumači prodavačicu, su nominirani za glumačke Oscare, a poslije su zajedno nastupili u još dva filma.
