(From the Frumkes piece) "Later I called Simone Simon, who turned 90 this April 23rd in Paris, and told her they were redoing one of her best films, in which she played the Devil's mistress. "I wasn't the devil's mistress!" she interjected. "You were...the devil's messenger?" "I was the devil's messenger. And I'm glad they're remaking it. It wasn't very good, really. Too heavy-handed. The ending was too long and didn't work, and the actor playing the farmer, the one I seduce...he had never acted before. He was a football player."
