"Doctor Faustus" is a film produced in 1967 that is based on Christopher Marlowe's "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus", written in 1588. The film starred and was directed by Richard Burton, (Nevill Coghill is also given credit for directing), who played the title character Faustus. Elizabeth Taylor played Helen of Troy. However, the overriding consensus of the critics was that the Oxford student Andreas Teuber stole the show as Mephistopheles.

The film is a permanent record of a stage production that Burton starred in and staged with Cogill at the Oxford University Dramatic Society in 1966. Burton wouldn't appear onstage again until he took over the role of Martin Dysart in "Equus" on Broadway ten years later.
