...over time).
You'll be bedazzled too.
Of course, there has been a remake, and perhaps the sincerest form of flattery for any film is that it is worthy of being remade. The Brendan Fraser/Elizabeth Hurley team of the innocent fool and devil is much more a 90s/new millennium style, but for classic comedy, this show is sinful! ...
