 | Being There - Peter Sellers - Shirley MacLaine
As stated on the cover:
'Peter Sellers stars as a feeble minded gardener whose entire knowledge of life comes from watching television. When his benefactor dies, he is cast into the outside world for the first time. An accidental meeting with a socialite (Shirley MacLean) leads him to the home of her husband, dying billionaire tycoon (Melvyn Douglas) then into the confidence of the President of the United States who hangs on his every word. In the end, his simple-mindedness is mistaken for genius and hes is acclaimed as a worldly wise philosopher and talked of as a potential presidential candidate. It has been called a brilliant film, provocative and different and howlingly funny; it earned Peter Sellers a Best Actor Academy Award nomination and Melvyn Douglas an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor of the Year. All of which proves that BEING THERE is something very special indeed.'
