1979 film.

Starring Peter Sellers, directed by Hal Ashby, and based on the novel by Jerzy Kosinski.

Surreal drama about a mentally challenged gardener thrust by accident into national influence in the US government.

One of the first large studio films to include "out takes" at the end of the last reel.


Also somewhat famous for a scene where Shirley MacLaine mistakenly assumes the gardner is a voyeur, when he tells her he "likes to watch".

He means television.

She interprets it differently to bizarre results.

"Was it good for you too??"
