Thread Name: BS: The Magic Christian, anyone seen it??
Subject: RE: BS: The Magic Christian, anyone seen it??
My favorite scene: Sir Lawrence Olivier (???) stripping during a production of Hamlet and down to nothing with "this bare bodkin". The Magic Christian is a cruise ship set to be launched with only the rich and famous aboard. Scenes of Jackie Onassis et al boarding. It features a bare breasted Racquel Welch, whip in hand, beating other bare breasted maidens as they row the ship along. Hilarious stuff. Although I joined many audience members in gagging at the finale - staid British nannies jumping into a pool full of shit, blood, and god knows what in order to grab at the money Sellers tossed in. Another "classic" released at the same time: "Putney Swope". Anyone remember the guy who loses on the dating game and opens his trenchcoat to national television?
