When the Devil (Peter Cook) offers suicidal short-order cook Stanley (Dudley Moore) seven wishes, Stanley easily surrenders his soul. All of his wishes are granted, to the letter. Unfortunately, as each wish comes to life, the Devil--cheeky sod!--manages to slip some unexpected problem into the mix, ruining everything in a deliciously funny way. Bedazzled was made long before 10 and Arthur made Dudley Moore an unlikely movie star. It's a much purer expression of the off-kilter British humor that Moore and his writing partner Cook pioneered, humor that would lead to Monty Python's Flying Circus and other absurdist goofballs. Moore is charming enough, but what really makes Bedazzled work is Cook, who combines upper-class arrogance with a cheerful, even casual lunacy. Though he played character roles in movies like The Princess Bride and Black Beauty, he was never able to parlay his sneaky sense of humor into starring roles. Bedazzled is his outstanding triumph. Not only does the movie offer some sly commentary on Christian morality, it has a cameo with Raquel Welch as the embodiment of Lust. A classic. --Bret Fetzer

I've seen this film innumerable times and own the DVD. The repartee between Dudley Moore and Peter Cook is brilliant. It seems that every life scenario is represented in one of the seven wishes. My all-time favorite film.

Great Price!! It's also very Funny and Hillarious!! Can't stop laughing everytime I see it. Overall in my opinion, the later version of Bedazzled with Hartley and Fraser is funnier.

I saw this movie when it first came out in the 60's. I thought it was superb at the time, and after all these years it has lost none of its charm.

Classic, classic movie. Good English movie, not-great production values but just funny and touching all the way through.

Michael Hobby (Wellington, New Zealand)
Dated but still funny retelling of the Faust tale, though this time set in a 1960s London burger bar, with a repressed Dudley Moore pining after unattainable waitress Eleanor Bron who sells his soul to the devil, Peter Cook, for a chance at true love. Cook plays a seedy down at heel satan to perfection and both he and Moore's performances riff off each other well honed by their track record in "Beyond the Fringe". The pace is a tad slow and performances slightly bookish to modern audiences accustomed to the more modern retelling with Brendan Fraser and Elizabth Hurley, but this is the original and delivers quiet rewards of its own. Notable also for the brief but effective cameo by the stunning Raquel Welch who is perfectly cast as.........Lust.
