The Magic Christian

(1969)Directed by Joseph McGrath92 min · PGComedy
“The Magic Christian is: antiestablishmentarian, antibellum, antitrust, antiseptic, antibiotic, antisocial & antipasto.”

Why does the richest man in the world pick a homeless stranger out of the park and make him his son? Sir Guy Grand (Peter Sellers) names the boy Youngman (Ringo Starr), and the two begin spending Guy's fortune on elaborate practical jokes, directed by Joseph McGrath. Each one is a wager that anyone and anything has a price, and Guy has more money than anyone could ever run out of.
