Description


CLASSIC FILM SERIES

 


 

 

Being There (1979)


“Sellers has never been better and he embellishes the detached, childlike innocence of this character with perfect style and timing. It's a deceptively simple performance, but it is essentially the core and substance of the film."
- Ron Pennington, Hollywood Reporter


“Here is a comedy that valiantly defies both gravity and the latest Hollywood fashion. ”
- Frank Rich, TIME Magazine



SYNOPSIS: Simple-minded Chance (Peter Sellers), a gardener who has resided in the Washington, D.C., townhouse of his wealthy employer for his entire life and been educated only by television, is forced to vacate his home when his boss dies. While wandering the streets, he encounters business mogul Ben Rand (Melvyn Douglas), who assumes Chance to be a fellow upper-class gentleman. Soon Chance is ushered into high society, and his unaffected gardening wisdom makes him the talk of the town. .
