Made during the period where Bergman was cranking out masterpieces left right and centre, I've got to admit I'd never heard of this one (apparently he made it to ensure finance for The Virgin Spring). It's a rather silly fantasy sex comedy - the Devil sends Don Juan down to earth to seduce a woman.
Gunnar Bjornstrand is in it, introducing the movie, and there's actors from other Bergman films (Bibi Andersson) but at the risk of sounding like a philistine I really needed some stars who I knew and were experienced in light comedy (don't laugh, but say Robert Cummings). Its not un-entertaining - it bubbles along, there are some funny bits - but it's a very minor work.
