Magic Christian, The
UK 1969, 89 minutes
Dir. Joseph McGrath
Rating: [R16]
Genres: Classics, Comedy / Black Comedy
Feat. Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr, Richard Attenborough, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Roman Polanski, Leonard Frey, Spike Milligan
Aroview: From Terry Southern's novel, a wildly loopy satire about an eccentric multi-millionaire (Peter Sellers) who adopts a destitute son (Ringo Starr) and embarks on an odyssey of wastage.
The broadly farcical, barely coherent series of sketches culminate memorably with a 'money scramble' in a tank full of effluent. Ironic that both stars were filthy rich.

3 stars (Good Enough) Stellar cast lampoons British society with mixed success in this scattershot fusillade of almost credible comedy sketches. Lots of ten pound notes and plenty of decadence. All good clean fun. A few beers will put you in the right frame of mind. ~TE901
