Magic Christian (1969)
Der über alles normal erdenkliche hinaus Superreiche Sir Guy Grand hat längst den Blick für das normale Maß verloren, er ist davon überzeugt, dass er für Geld alles kaufen kann – und so lebt er auch. Als er eines Tages jedoch einen skeptischen Gammler trifft, adoptiert er diesen kurzerhand, um ihm seine These vom „alles ist käuflich“ und „Geld öffnet jede Tür“ zu beweisen. Dieses versucht er fortan dann anhand von sich an Skurrilität gegenseitig einander übertreffenden Aktionen …
