The Devils in the Harvard Film Archive

The Devilsā€ is on at the Harvard Film Archive, Cambridge, USA on 25 March 2015.

"Most religions believe that by crying, ā€˜Lord, Lord!ā€™ often enough, they can contrive to enter the kingdom of heaven. A flock of trained parrots could just as readily cry the same thing with just as little chance of success.ā€

"Like many of the great 70s films, this is a story about power, and what happens when a single man tries to step out of line and go up against the System. Oliver Reed is fantastic as the priest whose charisma and ambition creates a problem for the Church thatā€™s more political than spiritual."
