Customer rating: 4 out of 5 stars Very Psychadelic 60's Stuff

filmfence | 15/03/2008 | See all filmfence's reviews (12) »

This is just wonderful if you remember the 'anything to shock you' years of the 1960s. Peter Sellers as Guy Grande is the richest man in the world. He is an elite, sophisticated character (just as he plays so well in 'A Girl in My Soup') whilst Ringo Starr is his adopted son found sleeping rough in Hyde Park.
Grande has a desire to prove that everyone has their price even though that price may involve taking part in some quite exceptional, and occassionally revolting, activities. The point is proven most convincingly in the final scene of this amusing very 60s production.
The film will appear a little strange on first viewing if you are new to this era of movie making however each scene will leave you wondering whatever can they come up with next. The bribing of the Oxford team to fix the boat race is probably the highlight of the film. On the other hand every act is unique so pick your own favourite. Which ever you choose, the film is highly enjoyable.
