Product description

In this adaptation of Terry Southern's offbeat novel, The Magic Christian stars Peter Sellers as the eccentric millionaire Sir Guy Grand, who adopts a down-and-out vagrant he stumbles upon in the park as his son.

Comedy lunacy from the comic genius of Peter Sellers and company that i had not seen before, and co-staring with a very youthful looking Ringo Star two years after the Beatles split and went south forever.
What a sad loss to the British film industry when Peter Sellers died in 1980.

Bought it for Ringo, but the jokes don't really work anymore. It has dated quite badly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr are fun viewing

I remember when this film came out and saw in theater. It was a very strange and off the wall then and still is but even better so many years ago. The whole premise is that people will do anything for money and there are so many ways that are shown. From a different take on the stage actor doing the lines of To Be or Not to Be to the elimination of a ticket by a police officer. The Magic Christian is Peter Sellers at his best with so many voices and personas while Ringo Starr is so much fun to watch. Also included are severals songs by the group Badfinger while one of the numbers is written by The Beatles and a stiring Thunderclap Newman Something in the Air towards the end of the film. I had forgotten how funny The Magic Christian is.

高校当時、ビートルズのリンゴスターが出演する映画というので、旭川まで観に行きました。
ドタバタ映画のようであまり記憶にありませんが、挿入歌はよかった。明日の風でしたっけ?
ところでジャンポールベルモントは健在なのだろうか。
