Tagline: How do you know you're God?" "When I pray I find I'm talking to myself.
Plot: The house of Gurney has a family problem--namely the 14th Earl of Gurney who suffers from a slight messiah complex. Unfortunately, the young earl is the sole heir to the family fortune, so his relatives go to great lengths to trick the would-be savior into siring a new heir. Then they can institutionalize the present earl and gain access to the money through the child. But the 14th Earl of Gurney has a few surprises for his greedy relations. With Peter O'Toole in a brilliant performance, THE RULING CLASS is a sprawling, bursting-at-the-seams send-up of the in-grown eccentricities of the British upper class. Academy Award Nominations: Best Actor--Peter O'Toole.
