Bedazzled (1967)
Film Description Cook and Moore's update of the Faust legend, in which timid short order cook Stanley Moon sells his soul to the devil (aka George Spiggott) in return for seven wishes. The devil, naturally, has a wicked sense of fun so nothing goes to plan. Dudley Moore takes a turn as a trampolining nun. Wicked fun.

Review by Julian Upton on 8th July 2005 Actually, to say “Bedazzled by Stanley Donen” is a tad misleading: it is Peter Cook’s mordant wit and infectiously persistent sense of bad taste that supports and energises this eclectic swinging London update on Faust. Dudley Moore is Stanley Moon, a (short) short order cook with the hots for waitress Eleanor Bron. Self-effacing and under-confidant, Moon sells his soul to the Devil (Cook) in return for seven wishes, one of which he hopes will confidently secure a romantic victory with the tenderly tenebrous Bron. From this premise a lively and fitfully uproarious tour of Cook’s comic mind is fuelled. His script is peppered with outrageous lines and scenarios that prefigure the Monty Python movies by a good few years, and scenes such as cuddly Dudley's initiation into an order of trampolining nuns must rank with anything the Marx Brothers had to offer. The revue-style format gives Cook and Moore an opportunity to show off their sketch show versatility, and, to Donen's credit, he lets Cook’s unique vision steer the proceedings, while deftly co-ordinating the monkey business with some strikingly opulent visuals.
