Bedazzled
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader
Long before he became the male Sandy Duncan, Dudley Moore was half--with Peter Cook--of a brilliant comedy duo. Stanley Donen found the perfect format for their talents in this 1967 reshuffling of Faust: Moore is a cook in a fast-food joint granted seven wishes by the devilish Mr. Spiggott (Cook) in exchange for his insignificant soul. The film is bright, inventive, and pointed--one of the finest and funniest comedies of the 60s. With Raquel Welch and Eleanor Bron. 107 min.
