The Doctor and the Devils
Mel Brooks produced this almost-great version of the Burke & Hare story, with a partially miscast
group of great actors - Timothy Dalton, Jonathan Pryce, Stephen Rea, and Twiggy. Although from an
original script by Dylan Thomas, it plays almost exactly like an upscale version of the much older
The Flesh and the Fiends. In 'scope for the first time. Fox.
