Bedazzled (1967)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: col/scope 96m
Director: Stanley Donen
Cast: Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Michael Bates, Raquel Welch, Eleanor Bron

Synopsis:

A loser is visited by Beelzebub (Mr Spiggott) who grants him seven wishes for happiness on Earth in exchange for you-know-what, but he (Stanley) still has trouble getting his sweetheart where he wants her.

Review:

In Peter Cook's conception each wish is twisted by the Devil so that it backfires on its author (he wants to be a millionaire, but she takes his money while sleeping with other men): in this way the enactment of the wishes is itself a Hell on Earth. This is all agreeably surreal in principle, but when the jokes don't draw laughs it becomes tiresome and we share Stanley's frustration!
