(Wiki) Bedazzled is a 1967 British comedy (in DeLuxe Color), a fantasy, romantic black comedy film directed and produced by Stanley Donen in Panavision format.

It was written by brilliant British comedian Peter Cook and starred both Cook and his comedy partner Dudley Moore.

It is a comic retelling of the Faust legend, set in the swinging London of the 1960s. The Devil (Cook) offers an unhappy young man (Dudley Moore as a short order cook at Wimpy Burgers, Stanley Moon) seven wishes in return for his soul.

But he twists the spirit of the wishes and only follows the letter of what has been wished for to frustrate the man's hopes. Poor "Faust," tricked by a devil far too smart for him. More
