Magic Christian

Satirical comedy directed by Joseph McGrath and starring Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr and Isabel Jeans. Self-absorbed millionaire Guy Grand (Sellers) spends his days lounging in his lavish home in London and toying with his many fruitless business ventures. When he encounters a vagrant in a city park he decides to adopt the dishevelled man and name him Youngman Grand, Esquire (Starr). Along with his new-found son, Guy Grand indulges in a series of bizarre antics involving grouse shooting with anti-aircraft cannons, board meeting brainstorms and the bribery of a rowing team. With his taste for excess still not satisfied however, Guy takes his son on the exclusive maiden voyage of a vast, opulent luxury cruise ship and uses the opportunity to engage in more absurdity.
