The Magic Christian (1969)

In the heart of the grandiose world of the outrageously wealthy, Sir Guy Grand (Peter Sellers), the world's richest man, stumbles upon a destitute vagabond, Youngman (Sir Ringo Starr). Seeing potential in this homeless drifter, Sir Guy adopts him, christening Youngman as the heir to his mind-boggling fortune. Immediately, Sir Guy plunges Youngman into the labyrinth of the family enterprise, a darkly humorous endeavor designed to exploit the insatiable greed of the masses with the colossal assets of the Grand dynasty. Their journey together unfolds as an audacious exploration of society's underbelly, turning every conceivable event into a playground of decadence and avarice. From high-stakes sporting events to elite art galleries, from bustling restaurants to the rustic elegance of traditional pheasant hunts, no corner of society is safe from their extravagant pranks. Their antics reach a fever pitch with the most anticipated social event of the season—the maiden voyage of the luxury liner, "The Magic Christian". In this world where money reigns supreme, Sir Guy and Youngman embark on a mission, a scandalously entertaining testament to their belief that in the face of obscene wealth, anyone and anything can be bought. This tale of wealth, power, and the corrupting influence of greed is a riotous romp through high society, challenging the viewer to question the true value of money.
