HBO Max: Man, I just watched the best 1972 comedy that I can recommend... to about five people. The Ruling Class (Peter O'Toole, Oscar nominated)

O'Toole plays a modern day paranoid schizophrenic English lord who thinks he's Jesus Christ. Bonkers is the right word for this. Excellent script filled with inaccessible British references (based on a play). Several musical numbers.

Partially shot in a manor house in Evansville, Indiana!

Responses:

several viewings for me, mostly in the 70s. It was a kind of a cult film then. Try seeing it baked. -- nm - mud Sep 7, 08:44 1
- I can tell you it looked great, IMO. HBO/TCM does some remastering sum'n sum'n whatnot -- nm - con_carne Sep 7, 09:00
