Derek Malcolm review of The Devil Finds Work

Guardian, Nov 18 1976. p.8

‘Laid on the Line’

Guardian film critic Derek Malcolm:

‘The Devil Finds Work is, hardly surprisingly, written superbly. But it doesn’t portray a great deal of knowledge of the subject in hand and often limits itself to stating the obvious as elegantly as possible…But as a personal reaction to the cinema it is still worth looking at’.
