The TV Movie Book (Leonard Maltin, ed.) lists Bedazzled as being produced in
1967, running 107 min in color.  Director Stanley Donen.  Starring
Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Eleanor Bron, Raquel Welch and Alba.  Given 3
stars.  Cult film updating Faust legend is as sacrilegious as THE SINGING
NUN and usually funnier.  The laguhs aren't always consistent, but the
Cook-Moore team is good and Donen's direction stylish.
