Maybe this update of the Faust legend could have done with a lighter touch; but tremendous performances, entertaining special effects and a great score (Bernard Herrmann's only Oscar-winner) combine with an ingenious script and stylish, expressionist direction to make this a minor classic. It was a commercial flop on release.
