In French with English subtitles. Also known as
The Last Billionaire.
Accused by his critics of ignoring the social ills of the world, director
Rene Clair responded with
Le Dernier Milliardaire, a "relevant" satirical comedy somewhat reminiscent of the much later
Being There and
Forrest Gump. Max Dearly stars as Monsieur Banco, the richest man in the world. On the verge of revolution, the bankrupt kingdom of Casinaria begs Banco to pay a visit and offer financial advice. Alas, upon his arrival our hero is accidentally hit on the head, and he later awakens as a babbling imbecile. But the parliamentary leaders of Casinaria, seeing only the man and not his condition, regard Banco's lunatic ramblings as pure genius -- and act upon them accordingly!
