Made in 1979, this is a fabulous fable of a film. Jerzy Kosinski, adapting his own novel, wrote the screenplay about a very simple, sheltered man (played by Peter Sellers) who goes out into the real world, in Washington DC, with very unpredictable and unforgettable results. Shirley MacLaine co-stars, Hal Ashby directs, and the whole thing is a funny, touching, thought-provoking character study.
