The The Devil's Disciple is a 1959 British- American film directed by Guy Hamilton, based on the play by George Bernard Shaw, and starring Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, and Laurence Olivier.
Lancaster and Douglas made several films together over the decades, including I Walk Alone (1948), Gunfight at the OK Corral (1957), Seven Days in May (1964), and Tough Guys (1986), which fixed the notion of the pair as something of a team in the public's imagination. Douglas was always second-billed under Lancaster in these films but, with the exception of I Walk Alone, in which Douglas played a villain, their roles were usually more or less the same size.
