Very interesting movie concept. Reminds me of the times we live in now with the administration we have now. Everyone thinking the person with the least faculties is somehow brilliant. The laugh is on us. The movie is terrific.

It was a very surprising movie. It is definitely in my top five pictures, Peter Sellers is fantastic. This was his last pic. he had cancer during the entire filming. I really miss him. I also love all the "Pink Panther" movies.😂

Worst movie of all time. You've been warned.
