The Magic Christian - Dog Show Clip [video]

Here's a great clip from the cinematic adaptation of the Terry Southern novel, The Magic Christian, starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr. For the uninitiated, Sellers plays a wealthy eccentric keen on using his fortune to prove that everyone/thing has a price, by bribing people with huge sums of money, allowing him to play very large-scale and socially 'telling' pranks. picked by DrNothing 1 year ago

Never seen this before. I must find a copy. Is it funny? Or what? The clip was ambiguous. Slightly funny, but you never know. Although with Peter Sellers, comedy would be very likely.

Really funny per dry/off beat British humor and with a heavy acid induced flair. A lot of cameos as well. John Cleese, Roman Polanski, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Spike Milligan and Yule Brynner, in drag, actually singing... well just watch:

There's a clip with Cleese on this comment thread; what inspired me to post this one.
