The Devil is a Busy Man, 1990
"A portrait of the businessman as a dandy-like Mephistopheles figure, inspired by a 1948 blues song with the same title, by Sunnyland Slim. I really like blues. With the wordplay 'the devil is a businessman' in mind. He does have something very tempting, such a businessman."
