Favourite Sin

"favourite sin," or favourite character?

there's a big difference. for this film, though, it's "lust" and "lilian lust...the babe with the bust." :-)
i could hardly imagine a better choice of actress/model icons to play the character and "the sin" than raquel welch (60s and 70s). although, elizabeth hurley (90s) - from the remake of this film - would've been the perfect choice if "bedazzled" had been remade along the exact same narrative lines. fact is, both versions of this film feature a main character (stanley and elliott) 'lusting' after a female character who's played by an actress that is upstaged by the other major female character in the movie...

eleanor bron, by raquel welch; frances o'connor, by elizabeth hurley.

the most surreal scene, though, in either movie has got to be the rendezvous club scene that ends the '67 "bedazzled." dudley moore, as stanley moon, dressed as a nun smoking and drinking on a barstool, while raquel welch, as lilian lust, dances on the bar, and a jazzy band led by peter cook, as george "the devil" spiggot, plays a sax, and the other "sins" do what they do best. pretty funny stuff. and just one of the reasons i don't think the remake of this film makes it to the same level.

Sloth (everyone needs to be lazy once in a while) and gluttony (everyone has to eat).

Hi there,

I am also a (hetero) red-blooded male, and I reckon that Barry Humphries camping it up as the green Envy wins hands down!
