It is a wonderful film.<BR/><BR/>I also saw/heard the Chicago Symphony last night showing Berlioz <EM>The Damnation of Faust</EM>, which alters Goethe's tale quite a bit, but was a treat nonetheless.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10837999838469082203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-77820432645856070752008-10-31T11:34:00.000-05:002008-10-31T11:34:00.000-05:00I never saw the original Bedazzled.

I saw the remake a few years ago, and enjoyed the part where a wish for prosperity goes badly wrong and he ends up a Columbian drug lord ... <BR/><BR/>Take care & God bless<BR/>Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-4096998457611317552008-10-31T09:03:00.000-05:002008-10-31T09:03:00.000-05:00Happy Halloween!One of my favorite interpretations...Happy Halloween!<BR/><BR/>One of my favorite interpretations of Faust is the original 1960's "Bedazzled" featuring Peter Cook as the Devil and Dudley Moore as a hapless chef who falls in love with a waitress but doesn't know how to approach her (AVOID the Elizabeth Hurley remake AT ALL COSTS). It has some hilarious bits, including one where Dudley Moore's wish goes wrong and he becomes a nun.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232209481041145155noreply@blogger.com
