Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Stanley Moon (Dudley Moore) is a short order cook, infatuated with Margaret (Eleanor Bron), the statuesque waitress who works at Wimpy Bar with him. Despondent, he prepares to end it all when he meets George Spiggott, a.k.a. the Devil (Peter Cook). Selling his soul for seven wishes, Stanley tries to make Margaret his own first as an intellectual, then as a rock star, then as a wealthy industrialist. As each fails, he becomes more aware of how empty his life had been and how much more he has to live for. He also meets the seven deadly sins who try and advise him.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | An article about Peter Cook that appeared in "The New Yorker" stated that the filmmakers didn't have a title for this movie when it was being made. Cook suggested calling this movie "Raquel Welch". The producers didn't understand why Cook would want to name the movie after an actress who appears in it for only a few minutes. Cook explained that movie marquees put the lead actors names over the movie title. Thus, the letters on the marquee would say "Peter Cook and Dudley Moore in Raquel Welch". The producers ended up going for the more ordinary title. See more » |
| Goofs | (at around 55 mins) During Dudley Moore's song "Love Me", which he sings in character as Stanley Moon, the woman to the right of the screen seems to say repeatedly "Oh, Dudley" instead of calling him by his character's name, "Stanley". See more » |

George Spiggott:
Everything I've ever told you has been a lie. Including that. Stanley Moon: Including what? George Spiggott: That everything I've ever told has been a lie. That's not true. Stanley Moon: I don't know WHAT to believe. George Spiggott: Not me, Stanley, believe me! See more » |
