Review of The Magic Christian (1969) by Dave A — 08 Jul 2008
In this controvercial offbeat dark satire on capitalism, greed and vanity, Peter Sellers plays a cynical eccentric billionaire who adopts homeless Ringo Starr and proceeds to show him that everyone has a price.
While it is admittedly patchy, I still think this is Sellers' most underrated film. (Also notable for many cameo appearances; e.g. Spike Milligan, Yul Brenner, Roman Polanski, John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Rachael Welsh, Christopher Lee, John Le Mesurier, Alan Whicker.
...etc,etc).
