Damn Yankees

I am looking for the 1958 musical film called Damn Yankees.  It was filmed using the original cast from the Broadway show.  It revolves around a man (Tab Hunter) making a comment that he would sell his soul to the devil for a 'long ball hitter' for his beloved Washington Senators so they can beat the New York Yankees.  No sooner than the words are out of his mouth,he is greeted by Satan himself (Ray Walston My Favorite Martian) in the form of the charismatic con man Mr. Applegate. Applegate claims he can make not only Joe's wish come true but he can also make Joe that ballplayer to fulfill his one lifelong dream. Using his real-estate business tactics, Joe talks Applegate into giving him an escape clause should he not like being a ballplayer. Applegate agrees to give Joe until the day before the season ends, September 24th at 9:00 PM, to get out of the deal at any time. Should Joe decide to play in the final game on the 25th, he will belong to Applegate. Joe says his final farewells to Meg while she is sleeping (Goodbye, Old Girl) and is magically transformed into 22-year-old Joe Hardy, the greatest ballplayer in history.

Thank you.
