One Devil of a Motion Picture!
Directed by Guy Hamilton

A witty, morally-minded period comedy about mistaken identity and redemption during the American Revolution, balancing humor with questions of conscience and sacrifice.

Dick discovers himself incapable of accusing another human to suffer and continues to masquerade as the reverend.
