Being There: Review

Jerzy Kosinski's modern fable gets a terrific translation to the screen due to his tight screenplay, capable direction by Hal Ashby, and a marvelous performance by Peter Sellers, one unlike any other in his career. He plays a simpleton gardener who's mistaken for a wise sage by gullible Washington, DC, society. Also starring Shirley MacLaine and the late, great Melvyn Douglas, who won an Oscar for his performance. Read the complete review for Being There
