The Devil's Eye is a Swedish comedy film directed by Ingmar Bergman and released in 1960. The film tells the story of Don Juan, a legendary seducer who has been sent to Earth by the Devil to corrupt Britt-Marie, a young and virtuous woman. The Devil has a stye in his eye, which he believes has been caused by the purity of Britt-Marie. He hopes that by corrupting her, he will be able to get rid of his stye.
Don Juan appears in Britt-Marie's hometown and sets his sights on her. He tries every trick in the book to seduce her, but she resists his charms. Instead of falling for Don Juan, Britt-Marie actually develops feelings for her former fiancé, who is now engaged to another woman. Don Juan, in turn, begins to feel genuine love for Britt-Marie, but his newfound emotions make him even less attractive to her.
As the film progresses, the characters become embroiled in a series of comedic situations that often involve mistaken identities and misunderstandings. Don Juan's attempts to seduce Britt-Marie are thwarted by her refusal to succumb to his charms and by the interference of her friends and family. Meanwhile, the Devil remains eager for Don Juan to succeed in his mission, as his stye continues to cause him pain.
In the end, Don Juan realizes that he is no match for Britt-Marie's purity and decides to return to Hell. However, he does so with the knowledge that he has experienced love for the first time in his life. The film ends on a hopeful note, with the implication that Don Juan may have learned a valuable lesson about the true nature of love.
