Ultimately, however, this one really isn&#8217;t for all tastes, and will be of most interest to those who appreciate all manner of zany cinema coming out of the late 1960s. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Some creatively surreal imagery and scenes<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still.png 608w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still-366x270.png 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still3.png 608w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still3-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still3-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still3-366x270.png 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still2.png 608w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still2-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still2-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Still2-366x270.png 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Amusing cameos by a host of big names<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Brynner-Polanski.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Brynner-Polanski.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Brynner-Polanski.png 608w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Brynner-Polanski-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Brynner-Polanski-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Brynner-Polanski-366x270.png 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Lee.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Lee.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"608\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-52321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Lee.png 608w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Lee-300x221.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Lee-128x94.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Magic-Christian-Lee-366x270.png 366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
