In this comedy flick, Dolphy plays a good-natured common man. The story revolved in a Faust-like premise. One day the devil (played by the quintessential Pinoy movie villain Romy Diaz), tempts him to give powers of sinister origin. However, the price is the former's soul. The pact was sealed. The use of "black magic" on benevolent purposes lead to hilarious situations.
Many Filipino movies have plots borrowed from foreign movies, ranging from classics to potboilers. Black Magic is one of them. This movie, like many other offshoots, is a hit with the masses. I am just wondering if this movie remained in Filipino cultural memory.
