The Ruling Class (Criterion Collection)

Outrageously funny and dark British satire stars Peter O’Toole as Jack Gurney, 14th Earl of Gurney, a paranoid schizophrenic who happens to think he’s Jesus Christ. With a penchant for sleeping on a cross and bursting out in song, Jack dismisses all notions that he is anything but the "God of Love," and becomes the subject of doctors who want to "cure" him. Music-filled adaptation of Peter Barnes' play co-stars Alastair Sim, Harry Andrews, and other top British actors. 154 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; photo gallery; home movies; theatrical trailer.
