Format:DVD
Possibly Peter Cook's greatest and yet most underated piece of work. Not only is the screenplay utterly delicious, but Cook's portrayal of the Devil incarnate (a.k.a George Spiggott) has to be one of the best cinematic 'Satans' of all time. There are clear undertones of their fiery off-screen relationship, but if don't look too deeply, you will enjoy this film for what it is - a wonderful snapshot of a great comedy partnership at their peak.
This film has not been available to buy for over ten years, elevating it's cult status somewhat. But this is no more than it deserves. Up there with 'Holy Grail' as a true comedy masterpiece.

One of my favourite films of all time.I hate when people say it's dated, what do you expect, it was made over forty years ago. It,s a classic sixties movie. The soundtrack is also awesome, took me years to find it on CD and the album stands alone as a great piece of jazz. Pete and Dud, the bizness!!!

At the risk of stating the obvious - this film is outstandingly funny. The Faustian relationship between Peter and Dudley - echoing their real relationship? Best bit? Peter's pop song! Theologically the best bit would be George/Peter's explanation of why he was cast out of heaven. A very funny film that reminds you why Peter Cook is the comedian's comedian. And Dudley had the twinkliest eyes in the world.

Vintage fun
Very funny - much better than the later remake. Nostalgic view of 60's Britain. Get's a little lost in a few places, hence only four stars.

A blast from the past.
There are several famous scenes in this reworking of the "Faust" story. It is a little dated, but it was made over 40 years ago! Read more

Golden oldie
This is a fantastic film. Forget the awful Liz Hurley remake, Cook and Moore hit all the right spots in this one.

I loved this movie when it was first released many years ago. This is a great copy and the movie is much much better than Liz Hurley's more recent production. Read more

Great British Comedy
With the benefit of hindsight, this lighthearted and thoughtful comedy is actually a great piece of work. And `Great' is not a term I employ rashly. Read more

Faustian Fun
Little Dud plays Stanley Moon, a shy, short-order cook at Wimpy's. He's too timid to ask out the drippy waitress, Margaret, (Bron) so when the devil, in the guise of George... Read more

Quality comedy
From the acerbic pen of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore this is , to my mind, one of the classic comedies. Full of wit, satire, pratfall and the ever sexy Raqhel Welch. Read more

What a great film! Peter Cook is brilliant. Don't bother with the remake with Liz Hurley though, this is far better.
