Don Juan in Hell (1960 TV Movie)
10/10
An Excellent Production of A Devilishly Good Play
26 January 2005
This was an interesting and well done version of the excerpt from Shaw's "Man and Superman". The problem in commenting on it is that has been so long since it was shown on TV. It may have been on Playhouse 90 or The Play of the Week. Too bad that it hasn't had a repeat showing as it was quite a tour de force for George C. Scott portraying the Devil in "shades" looking and acting deceptively smarmy (ain't that just like the Devil!) The rest of the cast, as best as I can remember, were also excellent. This came out around the time that another cast did the same performance on Broadway and as it contained a higher-powered group of actors the Scott one may have suffered in the comparison. That cast included Charles Laughton as the Devil, Charles Boyer as Don Juan, Agnes Moorehead as Dona Ana; I've forgotten who played the statue.
