Max et le diable (1981)

The Devil and Max Devlin is a 1981 film produced by Walt Disney Productions, directed by Steven Hilliard Stern and starring Elliott Gould, Bill Cosby and Susan Anspach.

The film was considered to be controversial for a Disney film at the time because of the subject matter and the fact that Bill Cosby was featured as a character of evil. It was also the first Disney film to actually contain profanity (in non-religious connotations) such as "damn" and an unfinished "son of a bitch". This film was one of three films that influenced Disney to establish Touchstone Pictures and Hollywood Pictures, as a method to produce and release films for mature audiences.
