Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are my all-time celebrated comedy team. Arising from the “Beyond the Fringe” troupe of the 1950s, they went on to develop some of the wittiest comedy routines of the 1960s. Taking off brilliantly on archaic British class divisions, they resembled an Abbott and Costello for members of Mensa, with Cook’s sarcastic, sneering upper-class snob scoring endless points off Moore’s sweet, hapless working-class schlemiel. Unfortunately, they never found a noble hide vehicle for their laughable personae–except for Bedazzled, directed by Stanley Donen from Cook’s screenplay. Moore plays a short-order cook on the verge of suicide because of unrequited love; up pops the Devil, played by Cook, who offers Moore seven chances at the girl of his dreams in exchange for his soul. Of course, the Devil being the Devil (and Cook being Cook), he can’t resist skewing each chance unbiased a small bit…The film is a screamingly comical yet cohesive string of bits as Cook spoils each of Moore’s attempts at happiness. The physical humor (wait till you notice the nuns on trampolines) is every bit as fabulous as the verbal barbs (wait till you hear Cook interpret how Mussolini’s soul eluded his remove) . For those who are sufficiently attentive, there is also worthy witty and pointed discussion of old Christian theology and ethics. Eleanor Bron (as the girl of Moore’s dreams) and Raquel Welch (as the living embodiment of Lust) are delightful in more ways than one. Stanley Donen, no stranger to directing films based on tricky screenplays, does chunky justice to Cook’s mordant, wildly imaginative vision. Cook’s career floundered in the 70s after the duo split up, and Moore’s solo stardom sagged after a few early successes. Now that Cook is unimaginative, far too young, and Moore is desperately ill, we can be grateful for Bedazzled and mourn that it had no successors.
I first saw this film my first semester in college… in English 101 of all places! After reading the Goethe’s “Faust,” we were treated to this drop-dead, split your sides inaugurate comedy.
Dudley Moore is perfect as the bumbling, broken-hearted bafoon, Stanley Moon. Peter Cook is the irascible, but somehow mild loveable George Spiggot aka the Devil. Raquel Welch plays a tiny cameo role as “Lust,” one of the seven deadly sins personified.
Moon (Moore) is lovelorn and secretly pining away for the waitress he works with at the local “Wimpy Burger” in London. When Moore realizes that the girl he desires will never see him, he attempts to catch his life and is rescued by none other than the Prince of Darkness.

Moore agrees to price over his soul to Spiggot in return for 7 wishes. The terrible sap honest isn’t street gleaming enough and constantly wishes for something he either didn’t intend to wish for or worse, a wish he hadn’t really view out properly and thoroughly… exacerbating the meaning of the phrase, “be careful what you wish for… you might unbiased accept it!”
Cook does an exemplary job as the wolf in sheeps clothing. Spiggot gains Moon’s confidence by being kind to him… despite his alterior motives, it is probably the first time anyone has been kind to Moon in his whole life and the Devil exploits this to the fullest measure. Lack of street-smarts gets moon in one hilarious scrape after another.
I can’t say great more without ruining the position and the hilarity, but suffice to say, you’ll never hear “Julie Andrews” the same scheme again. I highly recommend this as a clever comedy… and one that’s advantageous to prove to teens.
