What happens

Bedazzled is a 1967 British DeLuxe Color fantasy comedy film produced and directed by Stanley Donen in Panavision format. It was written by comedian Peter Cook and stars both Cook and his comedy partner Dudley Moore. It is a comic retelling of the Faust legend, set in the Swinging London of the 1960s. In the film, the Devil (Cook) offers an unhappy young man (Moore) seven wishes in return for his soul, but twists the spirit of the wishes to frustrate the man's hopes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
