No one and nothing is safe from Cook and Moore's barbed screenplay. They take shots at nuns, priests, the upper classes of England, Lyndon Johnson, Julie Andrews, the Prime Minister and, eventually, God. It's a devilish plot with Moore as a short short-order cook in love with Bron, a
waitress with sex exuding from every pore. Cook is the devil who grants him several wishes. Naturally, all of them go awry, and Moore winds up in a nun's habit as one of the Order of Leaping Berelians, sisters who do their penance on trampolines. Cook and Moore brilliantly shift from character to
character with just a change of voice (not unlike Peter Sellers), and the movie never flag...
