There was a man who lived in the woods? And he met an evil guy (Satan or someone who worked for him). I think the evil guy gave the man a fur/skin to wear, and in it was a pocket that always had enough money for whatever he needed at that moment. (The pocket would replenish with coins whenever he needed money.) There were 3 women who I think were sisters, and one of them promised to marry the man. He broke off one of his fingernails (they were long, gross, and very dirty) and told her to keep it. The man went away again for a while, but came back to marry the woman. He was dressed nicely this time and had bathed and shaved and cut his hair. The woman pulled out the fingernail and they put it together with another of his nasty old fingernails which transformed into a wedding ring of gold. The other two sisters couldn't believe all this, so they climbed a tree, jumped, and drowned in the lake?

I watched this movie at school in 2nd grade, so it probably wasn't a "big" film.

You're very welcome. This is one of those movies that gets asked about fairly regularly on movie boards.
