Question: Which film came out first, The Devil And Leroy Bassett or The Altar Stairs?
Sentence (from "Speak of the devil"): The phrase lost its overt message during the 19th century, during which it became a warning against eavesdroppers(" No good of himself does a listener hear,/ Speak of the devil he's sure to appear"), and by the 20th century had taken on its present meaning.
