Christopher Lee had been pushing Hammer to do a film based on a Dennis Wheatley fantasy novel. So the company selected Wheatley's 1935 novel THE DEVIL RIDES OUT, and produced what Lee called his favorite Hammer film. Lee played the "Duc de Richleau," who uncovers a cult of Satanists.




When it came time for its U.S. release, 20th Century Fox felt that the title THE DEVIL RIDES OUT sounded too much like a western, so they changed the title to THE DEVIL'S BRIDE.

Great film. Lee is excellent, and handles the good guy mode as easily as he does the villains. One look at him in this as a kid made me think he'd make a brilliant Master in Doctor Who. Shame he never did the latter. He was probably too expensive by the time of Who's return by which time he was back in the movies, whereas in the 90s he ended up doing the flippin' Tomorrow People! First remake that is...
