“And I’ll say right now, he never learned to read and write. No, sir. Had no brains at all. Was stuffed with rice pudding between th’ ears. Short-changed by the Lord, and dumb as a jackass. Look at him now! After his patron passes away, Chance, a simple gardener, is kicked out of his green shelter and into the harsh streets of D.C. By chance he falls in with a mogul who mistakes him for an intelligent upper-class businessman full of folksy wisdom. Before he knows it, Chance is meeting the President, taking interviews on television, and finding romance. Peter Sellers’s last role before he passed away.”—DeWitt Davis
Introduction by Jason Simos of the Peter Sellers Appreciation Society on Friday, December 16th, and Sunday, December 18th.
