Movie Night: Bedazzled (1967)



Review #137: Bedazzled.

Cast
Peter Cook (George Spiggott / The Devil), Dudley Moore (Stanley Moon), Eleanor Bron (Margaret), Raquel Welch (Lust / Lilian Lust), Alba (Vanity), Robert Russell (Anger), Barry Humphries (Envy), Parnell McGarry (Gluttony), Danièle Noël (Avarice), Howard Goorney (Sloth), and Michael Bates (Inspector Clarke) Directed by Stanley Donen.

Review
This film is the first I've seen of Dudley Moore, and along with Peter Cook, they make a great pair in this film. It's a bit smart with everything, trying to be just more then what you believe. It's got some good gags and all, especially when Charles makes everything go all wrong (as he is the Devil) The film may not always have a good joke around every corner, but it at least is a good film all around.

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
