Stanley Moon (Dudley Moore) is a bumbling short-order cook, infatuated with Margaret (Eleanor Bron), the statuesque waitress he works with at Wimpy Burger in London. On the verge of suicide, he meets George Spiggott (Peter Cook), the devil, who, in return for his soul, grants him seven wishes to woo the challenging Margaret. Despite the wishes and the advice of the Seven Deadly Sins, including Lilian Lust (Raquel Welch), Stanley can't seem to win his love and shake the meddling Spiggott.

The film is bright, inventive, and pointed -- one of the finest and funniest comedies of the 60s.

Maybe the brand of British banter and buffoonery that Peter Cook and Dudley Moore bombard us with in Stanley Donen's Bedazzled would be very funny if it came in small bursts at not too frequent intervals in an expansive musical comedy or revue.

Cook and Moore perform wittily and engagingly but you do wish that Donen or someone had, at a point, saved them from themselves. It gives deviltry a bad name.

‘…there’s enough vintage Peter and Dud on show here to keep Bedazzled afloat…the mood is bright and jolly, but be warned, the underlying sexual politics of the 60’s will create discomfort for modern audiences….’

Stanley Donen makes the whole amateur bag of tricks look lovely, which somehow makes it worse. Messrs Cook and Moore, both experts on an 18-inch screen, have patently sold their souls to the devil.

Despite some outdated gags, Bedazzled is a clever comedy that’s genuinely hilarious at times. The performances really sell it, and the script is so good. It’s definitely worth watching.

Viewers won't be incredibly tempted to revisit Bedazzled, but Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's breezy interplay makes it devilish fun.

This is one of the great "comedies", as it confronts with a light touch, and a lot of entertainment, the classic struggle of an individual to find meaning in their life. Dudley Moore and the rest of the cast, including Peter Cooke and Raquel Welch, brilliantly portray the forces that drive humanity to various kinds of action, harmful or helpful. The ending scenes are especially profound and wonderful. I won't give away what they are, but stay alert if you decide to see the film, and you will hopefully feel the impact to which the entire film has been leading, inevitably.
