A goof on the Faust legend, BEDAZZLED is a fun showcase for then partners Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. As Harry Moon, Moore signs a pact with the decidedly inept Cook and gets into one hair-brained situation after another. Director Stanley Donen keeps things moving at a brisk clip so the episodes are never tiresome. The nuns-on-trampolines segment is priceless --- Moore's nun name is very clever. Cook and Moore didn't get many chances to showcase their unusual chemistry on film so the film is a real treat. Moore himself would not become a genuine leading man for another twelve years.
