Once a month, comedian, star and co-founder of Kids in the Hall, comic Kevin McDonald will present a film handpicked from the archives of comic history.
Simple-minded Chance (Peter Sellers), a gardener who has resided in the Washington, D.C., townhouse of his employer for his entire life, educated only by television, is forced to vacate when his boss dies. Wandering the streets, he encounters business mogul Ben Rand (Melvyn Douglas), who assumes Chance is a fellow upper-class gentleman. Soon Chance is ushered into high society, and his unaffected gardening wisdom makes him the talk of the town.
