The Magic Christian



Keeping to our recent theme of cult films, here is another 1969 classic, “The Magic Christian” starring Peter Sellers, Ringo Starr and an emerging talent, John Cleese.  The original book and screenplay collaboration was by Terry Southern.


This English-made irreverent flick was a black satire about how wealth can trump all other social constraints ... as has been telescoped onto our current grotesque, misshapened society ... by many of our billionaire High-Tech children.


STAND UP FOR SATIRE!
