Horizon Award

Champagne For Caesar
$9.99
In CHAMPAGNE FOR CAESAR, Ronald Colman has the lead as know-it-all Beauregard Bottomley and Vincent Price co-stars as Burnbridge Waters-- the owner of Milady Soap Co. Celeste Holm is Colman's love interest, Barbara Britten his sister. The voice of Caesar the parrot is supplied by Mel Blanc. Art Linkletter plays game show host Happy Hogan.

Beauregard's job interview with Burnbridge ends in an abrupt "bum's rush" so he plots a crafty revenge. When he appears on the Happy Hogan quiz show that Milady Soap sponsors, Mr. B. answers every question correctly, doubling his winnings until he reaches the top prize of $320. Beauregard insists on returning to continue the game. The arrogant Waters unwisely agrees to this but soon learns much to his chagrin that genius Bottomley simply can't be stumped!

Beauregard figures he'll be sole owner of Milady once he answers the $40 million question. Burnbridge is desperate to find a way of sabotaging this unstoppable contestant. It's an amusing story, one of Colman's best, and predates the national quiz show scandals by some seven years. Weakest link here is LINKletter, who comes across rather stiffly. (Note: don't ask how doubling monies go from un-round to round figures or how $2 million doubles to $5-- it's only a movie, yah know!)
