Hollywood forever cemetery: 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard at gower [map] september 11th : bedazzled   Directed by Stanley Donen (1967 94 mins) Gates 6:30 pm Movie 8:00 pm No reservation necessary $10 donation tickets available at gate As a courtesy to other moviegoers: NO TALL CHAIRS!! Stylish, playful, and outrageously funny, Bedazzled is a 60s mod gem. A 'Swinging London' take on the Faust story, it stars the incomparable comedy team of Dudley Moore and Peter Cook. Moore has a crush on a waitress at his work and when he meets the devil, played by Cook, he signs his soul over for seven chances to try and seduce her. He is transformed into an intellectual, a rich playboy, a rock star and more as he tries to romance his way into her heart. Raquel Welch co-stars as one of the seven deadly sins, (you can guess which one),and Cook's turn as a rock star is one of the funniest mod moments in cinema!
