This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of an oddball film called The Ruling Class. Peter O’Toole stars in this colorful feature which smashes any genre label. Upon its release in the U.S. in 1972, with several minutes cut for who knows what reason, critics had mixed reactions. The film didn’t make a lot of money. But a group of cinephiles latched on to it, and The Ruling Class became a cult film. By the way, today those missing minutes are restored.
