Comedy legend Peter Sellers (A Shot in the Dark) portrays Sir Guy Grand, the richest man in the world. One day he whimsically adopts a young homeless man (Ringo Starr) who he happens to meet by chance during a stroll in the park. Together they set off on a series of madcap escapades and comically attack the snobbery and hypocrisy of modern society as they go from one hilarious misadventure to another. Highlighting the film is Paul McCartney's hit song InchCome and Get ItInch and the Monty Python regulars who Polish it off with their own quirky brand of hilarity. The incredible cast includes Richard Attenborough, Laurence Harvey, Raquel Welch, Christopher Lee, Spike Milligan, Roman Polanksi, Leonard Frey, Wilfrid Hyde-White and an unforgettable and un-credited cameo by Yul Brynner. Joseph McGrath directed a screenplay by Terry Southern and McGrath with additional material by Peter Sellers, John Cleese and Graham Chapman - based on a novel by Southern (Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb).
Paul Williams wrote the acclaimed score for this musical horror classic, and stars as an evil record tycoon haunted and taunted by the disfigured composer Winslow Leach (William Finley, SISTERS) he once wronged. Starring Jessica Harper (SUSPIRIA, SHOCK TREATMENT) and Gerrit Graham (USED CARS, TERRORVISION), this hilarious send-up of the glam rock era is pure entertainment from beginning to end.
A fourth sequel to the 2013 film GHOSTS. A private investigator RETURNS to London. Andrew Robinson and his team investigate a London Pub that has poltergiest activity. They encounter many ghosts and phantoms who will make their investigation go to all out hell.
