Gregory Fitzgerald (Steve Forrest) is on his way to join the priesthood in Austria when he meets and falls in love with Monica Johnson (Anne Baxter). After he rescues her from the mob, Monica realizes she loves him, too – and just what that love might mean for his future. Neophyte priest Fitzgerald is soon lost in a labyrinth of lust and lies as he tries to chart a course to save his love. Shot on location in Paris in CinemaScope by the legendary cinematographer Freddie Young ("Lawrence of Arabia", "Doctor Zhivago"), "Bedevilled" shines a sweeping spotlight not only on the charms of leading lady Anne Baxter but on the grandeur and glamour that is the City of Lights.

Negulesco and noir - a heady brew. Jean Negulesco proved his stunning noir debut The Mask of Dimitrios was no fluke by following up with an astonishing run of film noir classics.
