IMDb profile

Doctor Faustus is a film produced in 1967 that is based on Christopher Marlowe's The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, written in 1588. The film starred and was directed by Richard Burton, (Nevill Coghill is also given credit for directing), who played the title character Faustus. Elizabeth Taylor played Helen of Troy. However, the overriding consensus of the critics was that the Oxford student Andreas Teuber stole the show as Mephistopheles.
