The 1979 film Being There, directed by Hal Ashby and starring Peter Sellers, Shirley MacLaine, Melvin Douglas and Jack Warden is an odd, quirky, funny and surprising film about a, not very bright, gardener who ends up friend to the richest man in the world and advisor to the President of the United States. Is it a religious parable, a condemnation of the rich, a statement about the human race's fundamental foolishness or simply a really funny movie? Well, that's up to you to decide.  If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here. https://amzn.to/3xTf0Fe Don’t forget to support The Cine-Files at https://www.patreon.com/TheCineFiles and purchase any film we feature at https://www.cine-files.net Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheCineFilesPod/?ref=bookmarks John @therochasays Steve @srmorris The Cine-Files Twitter @cine_files Instagram thecinefilespodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecine-files/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thecine-files/supportOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/CINEFILES* Check out Secret Nature and use my code CINEFILES for a great deal: https://secretnature.com* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/cinefiles* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-cine-files/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
