5. One of Peter Sellers best performances.
Much of it filmed at the Biltmore Estate, in Asheville, NC.

7. John McCain could match that performance.
Imagine, if you will, Senator McCain staring at Senator Obama and then initiating the following dialogue:

McCain: Do you know Raphael?
Obama: No sir, I don't believe I do.
McCain: Oh. I have a message for him.
Obama: Yes, sir.
McCain: A black man gave me the message.
Obama: Well, Senator McCain, I still don't believe I know the man.

8. That movie paved the way for Bush to become president.
Morton Hull: Do you realize that more people will be watching you tonight, than all those who have seen theater plays in the last forty years?

Chance the Gardener: Why?
