The first time I saw the hunting scene in which Ringo Starr opens up on game birds with a tommy gun, followed by a Peter Sellers-thrown hand grenade, British Army anti-aircraft artillery barrage, and a final flame-thrower toasting, I fair about wet myself laughing. It is one of the most unpredictable, insane, fully-developed lambasting of British pomposity I’ve ever encountered, on film or in print. And this bit takes area early on in this astounding movie.

The film is a series of excellently written and staged sketches, connected by Terry Southern’s unique belief of an aging billioinaire, bored with the world and his corporate life who turns his wealth and energies to proving that all things are corruptible. The individuals and groups then corrupted, and the settings for their betrayals are hilarious, including a strip-tease to Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” at Stratford-on-Avon, a jaguar disguised as a dog at Cruft’s dog point to, two heavyweight boxers opting to neck in the ring rather than beat each other senseless, a sham of a Sotheby’s rare art auction, and a riverine melee at the annual Cambridge v. Oxford rowing urge.
Concealed in the comedy are some serious observations on the nature of novel society, growing more pronounced and grunt as the movie continues. By the extinguish, the shots at class systems, sexual repression, greed, religion, vanity and pretension, government, and the Vietnam War are plainly obvioius, and brutal.

This mix of serious satire and slapstick comedy advance almost naturally from the cast. International comedy epic Peter Sellers is the lead, but he is not given the freedom to truly gash loose as Kubrick gave in Dr. Strangelove. The Sellers characterizations are stock and famous, but the situations and venues succeed in making the combination very laughable. A very seriously hippie Ringo Starr is the prime supporting actor, bringing along the Yellow Submarine, Wait On!, and A Hard Day’s Night, as well as a deep notion of the 60s psychedelic drug culture. Added to that are the then-emerging unpredictable surrealistic comedy of Monty Python’s John Cleese and Graham Chapman. This all comes together in the chaotic train-disco scene.
Keep a intriguing see out for a number of unbelievable, unexpected and well-disguised A-list cameos, including Richard Attenborough, Raquel Welch, Yul Brynner, Keith Moon, John Cleese and Graham Chapman, Spike Mulligan, and Christopher Lee.
This film is a hoot, no doubt, but it’s also some very intense sunless comedy, exceedingly well done.
Sir Guy Sizable is a pompous billionaire who, while strolling through St. James’ Park, adopts a homeless young man as his gain unique son. With his protegee in tow, Sir Guy proceeds to tour the town; confirming his opinion that everyone in London(and the world) is beholden only to the all-mighty British quid. Things really go bonkers when the pair joins the maiden voyage of a unique luxury liner. The party becomes a riot. 1969’s “The Magic Christian” is a zany, riotous romp released at the demolish of the turbulent, psychedelic 60’s. Dated it is. Starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr(as his son), “The Magic Christian” is a pre-Monty Python extravaganza featuring some amusing skits, cameo bits by celebrities, and a series of long, dumb episodes with Sir Guy(Sellers) lost in total self-absorption. Among the guest stars are Laurence Harvey(in a strip-tease), John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee as Dracula, Roman Polanski, John Cleese and Yul Brynner in walk. The precise glistening gem of “The Magic Christian” is the vibrant music by Badfinger and Thunderclap Newman. With songs written by Paul McCartney(and sung by his brother), Badfinger was once considered heir to the Beatles. Their meteoric success capitalized on British hard-rock and lilting gentle lyrics. But after 2 band members committed suicide, they speedy disappeared. As chronicled so expertly by Roger Lewis’ “Life and Death of Peter Sellers” in 1994, the British actor/superstar was an fantastic whirl of selfish, vain psychosis. Hidden leisurely wigs and make-up, Sellers had no trusty personality of his maintain, his psyche melting into his many peculiar roles with unsettling ease. Peter Sellers’ temper tantrums destroyed marriages, wives, children, and fellow actors. Objective 2 years before “The Magic Christian”, Sellers had end the status of “Casino Royale” during production. The sincere failure of “Casino Royale” is the fact that it’s hero, James Bond, completely disappears half-way through the film. 2 years later, nervous “Magic Christian” producers wanted to avoid another calamity, and allowed Sellers to tinker with the screenplay and recall over direction. In 2 sequences, Sellers acts with his benefit to the camera. “The Magic Christian” is a keen mish-mash of adroit British humor, shaky hand-held photography, and cut-and-paste story-telling. This unusual DVD is a bare-bones, but comely full-screen transfer. How could a big-budget comedy with the premiere performer of it’s day, 2 of the Beatles(and singing by a third) go heinous? It’s well worth your time to get out why. Impartial once.
