Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A comic play written by George Bernard Shaw in 1897 and set during The American Revolution, The Devil's Disciple tells of the title character, Richard Dudgeon, and his opposite, the Rev. Anthony Anderson, and the events which follow when British soldiers come to arrest Anderson for treason and Dudgeon takes his place. A further element is how Anderson's wife, Judith, rapidly goes from loathing Dudgeon to falling in love with him.Adapted to the screen several times; most notably as a 1959 film, directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Kirk Douglas as Richard Dudgeon, Burt Lancaster as Anthony Anderson, Laurence Olivier as General John Burgoyne, and Janette Scott as Judith.

Aggressive Negotiations: Played with near the end, when Anthony Anderson negotiates with Gen. Burgoyne for Richard Dudgeon's freedom. note Not only is Anthony holding several high-ranking officers prisoner (including Gen. Philips), but he also knows that Gen. Howe is way out of position in New York, not Albany where he should be. In short, he's got Gen. Burgoyne over a barrel, and they both know it.

Chekhov's Skill: Early on it's shown that even though Anthony's a minister he's very physically strong, for twice he's shown easily doing very heavy lifting by himself. When the Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh... scene comes later, those soldiers are clearly outmatched.

Anti-Villain: General Burgoyne is the perfect gentleman, and obviously respects Dudgeon.
