Synopsis
Odd comedy update of the Faust legend. Mental patient Sir Richard (aka "Hammersmith") promises orderly Bridges untold wealth if only he release him from a padded cell. Liz ends up along for the ride. One of the weirdest films from hollywood's once favorite couple. Actor Ustinov steps behind the camera to both direct and act in this cult film.

Critics' reviews
- "Inept Taylor-Burton vehicle is one more variation on the Faust legend, with Burton as a lunatic consigned to Ustinov's asylum."
- "Both Bridges and Miss Taylor display a certain vulgar, ratty charm that is often funny."
