FWIW, what you tried works for me, in Emacs 24.1.  What is your Emacs version?

Try also this (same as what you tried, except for the major-mode part):

;; Local Variables:
;; mode: lisp
;; eval: (font-lock-mode -1)
;; End:

See (emacs) `Specifying File Variables'.

But neither form seems to work in Emacs 22.3 or 23.3.  Perhaps someone else has
a suggestion.
