I also saw thus film many years ago. I have never forgotten it apeter Sellers suuted the part perfectly. I if course knew him from The Goons.. The title struck me as being how things need to be, especially now in such trying times globally, with Covid-19 and the ongoing unrest. It indicates to us that there are simple solutions fjir our percieved ills.

I saw this movie over 35 years ago. It is probably the best film I have ever seen. It depicts the down to earth philosophy of a truly unique individual who is totally unblemished by the world. A remarkable expose of how simple it is to solve the problems of society. We can all accomplish this by just, Being There.
