I'M BEDAZZLED

Spy Vibe takes you behind the scenes of one our favorite films, Bedazzled (1967). Built on the satirical comedy of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, the film offered Stanley Donen (Charade, Arabesque) a chance to bring the classic Faustian tale to Swinging London. Pete and Dudley had spent years crafting characters and razor timing in their troupe, Beyond the Fringe, and their television show, Not Only But Also. Bedazzled also stars Eleanor Bron (Help!, Alfie) and includes a memorable appearance by Rachel Welch as Sin. More in our post UK Satire Boom and Stanley Donen
