Lakewood Public Cinema The Magic Christian (1969) Directed by Joseph McGrath Rated PG

“Would you walk away from a fool and his money?” From the legendary writer of Dr. Strangelove and Easy Rider comes the rare screen adaptation that outshines the original book. Peter Sellers, the richest man in the world, adopts a homeless Ringo Starr and sets out to show him that money can make people do the strangest things. With music by Paul McCartney and Badfinger, Raquel Welch brandishing a whip, a couple of up-and-coming Monty Pythons and Yul Brenner in drag, this is the film that we believe definitively marks the end of sixties.
