Meet Mr Lucifer
(GB 1953)
Rank/Ealing. 81m. bw
A music hall has-been hurts his head playing the Devil, and meets his real-life counterpart who encourages him to corrupt people through television.
Disappointingly fragmented TV satire lacking Ealing's usual whimsy, with a plot that doesn't really go anywhere, and actors not given enough screen time, including the title character.
w, p: Monja Danischewsky, from the play "Beggar My Neighbour" by Arnold Ridley
d: Anthony Pelissier
s: Stanley Holloway, Jack Watling, Peggy Cummins, Barbara Murray, Joseph Tomelty, Gordon Jackson, Ernest Thesiger, Joan Sims, Kay Kendall, Gilbert Harding
ph: Desmond Dickinson
m: Eric Rogers
