The Devil's Disciple Ratings & Reviews
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025Kirk Douglas commands every scene he's in and those he's not in, they seem flat. Maybe it was good casting, but Douglas nailed the part of Richard Dudgeon. The court marshal provided a great gentlemanly exchange between Laurence Olivier and Douglas. This movie was better than I expected and I expect that I will watch it again.
