4.0 out of 5 stars A sixties gem 22 Sep 2006
Format:DVD
This is a wonderful, clever and very funny sixties film. Lots of splendid cameo roles by people like Spike Milligan and Raquel Welsh. It's basically about the lengths people will go to for money. Peter Sellers plays Sir Guy Grand, a millionaire who likes playing tricks on the vain, greedy and pompous souls of the world. He needs to find an honest 'son' to inherit his wealth, and in steps Ringo, a down and out beggar, with a good heart. There is a fab soundtrack by Badfinger, and lots of lovely location shots around London in 1969. If you like Raquel Welsh, this is a must - she plays a dominatrix on a slave galley ship!! Ringo is great - he was a natural actor. IT must have been good for him to escape from the Let It Be sessions to come and film this!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Forgotten (cult?!) Classic 23 Feb 2009
By Chris
Format:DVD
I saw this movie years ago and had never forgotten it ... The current economic chaos reminded me to check it out again and a quick check on trusty Amazon showed it was now available in DVD for a bargain price - so good in fact that I ordered another copy to be sent to a friend in Texas (no problems with 'Region' incompatibility for us - we use Linux ;) ... Features a stellar cast and is based on the novel by the great Terry Southern of Dr Strangelove fame. If you haven't seen it then you are missing a treat ... It stands the test of time remarkably well and now resides in my collection Top 10.

Go on order it now - You know you want to, eh?!;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant , Brilliant, Brilliant! 20 Aug 2006
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Disregard the bad reviews. Sellers is excellent here, one of his best. Ringo is natural and charmingly irresistible. John Cleese is also on board for a short segment and in top form. Plus you have Roman Polanski, Yul Brenner, a great Badfinger soundtrack and a bizarre story with multi-layered social comment. Actually this film is quite psychedelic and if you are a fan of Python, Perrin, Fawlty, Sellers, Beatles etc, this film is essential..And one of the best endings of all time...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Anti-Capitalist Film
This film has even more impact than it did in the 70's. The whole 70's zeitgeist is miraculously brought back to life. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A surreal trip to the Sixties
I bought this film to see how Ringo Starr fared in a straight acting role. The role was undemanding and given that was the case he didn't disappoint. Read more

This is a great piece of kitch! In the same vain as Casino Royale and Whats New PussyCat, an all star cast and chaos. Somehow it worked for me. Read more

This film came up in conversation with my wife a few weeks back, as we reminisced about how much we had enjoyed it in our anarcho-delinquent younger days. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars The Magic Christian
Peter Sellers stars in this psychadelic menagerie. A host of stars appear as Sellers embarks on a trip of self-discovery. Ringo Starr appears as Sellers' 'adopted' heir. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A massive self indulgence
This chaotic comedy-satire is fairly typical of the type and quality of movie that man who couldn't say 'no', Peter Sellers had been making for at least five years by now. Read more

Please, someone who has this PAL version DVD, tell me what the Aspect Ratio is? Or just, is it Wide Screen or not? Read more
