Peter Sellers delivers an unforgettable performance as Chance the gardener in this adaptation of Jerzy Kosinski's book, along with Shirley MacLaine and Jack Warden. Isolated all his life in a Washington, DC townhouse, Chance knows only what he's seen on T V. Cast into the world, he stumbles into the inner circle of governmental power brokers (including Melvyn Douglas in his second Oscar-winning role) eager for "sage wisdom." As Chance might say, you'll like to watch Being There, directed by Hal Ashby (Coming Home, Shampoo, Harold And Maude).
