Black Comedy, Satire - Rated PG - 154 Minutes - 1972
Peter O'Toole's last quality movie of the '70s before he descended into alcoholism, this cheery satire of British aristocracy opens with a botched round of auto-erotic asphyxiation and ends with a murder. O'Toole was nominated for an Oscar for portraying Jack Gurney, who inherits a position of nobility while under delusions that he is Jesus Christ, and later, Jack the Ripper. Punctuated by abrupt musical numbers and the hilarious antics of put-upon butler Daniel Tucker, the "who's really crazy here" finger-pointing can feel a touch heavy-handed, but the point gets across and O'Toole's manic and eventually sinister energy leaps off the screen.
