A DEVIL WITH WOMEN was presented (in a double-bill with A HOLY TERROR, 1931) by William K Everson at London's National Film Theatre in 1977. He mentioned that the film was very unstable, but I would assume the copy brought over was a safety copy.
Two friends I saw it with had slightly differing views, one describing it as 'terrible' or words to that effect. Admittedly slight in content, its brief running time meant that it never outwore its welcome and the copy was in pretty decent shape, especially considering the state of film preservation back then. And Mona Maris makes for a most appealing leading lady.
In addition (for me) a talkie from this period was a comparative novelty, which added to its appeal and interest value. One hopes the movie is around still...
