Thirty Nine

Nearly 500 years ago, a woman makes a very unusual deal with the devil to keep from growing old. Now that the deal is coming to term, she has to make a decision. Does she want to renew the deal or does she want to opt out? It's a cross between "Death Becomes Her" and "The Devil and Daniel Webster."
