Oh God, You Devil! Directed by Paul Bogart

As the latest in the Oh God! series of sequels, Oh God, You Devil! is as predictable as your hometown church service. As cinema, it is no equal to the previous films, which dealt with the spreading of God's word on earth. Here we are given a bit of the old rivalry between God and the Devil, a sort of "anything you can do, 1 can do better" on a celestial scale. At the heart of the contest is the soul of a young songwriter, hellbent (pun intended) on being a success. To accomplish this, he, naturally, sells his soul and in a roundabout fashion becomes a star, not as himself, but as a souls, and puff on those oversize and well rehearsed worry.
