You'll have to look closely for this one, its pure background although all the more mysterious for it.
This is the boy who turned yellow in the Children's Film Foundation classic: The Boy Who Turned Yellow (1972)
And this is The Magic Christian, a 1969 British comedy film starring Peter Sellers and Ringo Starr, with appearances by John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Raquel Welch, Spike Milligan, Christopher Lee, Richard Attenborough and Roman Polanski. It was loosely adapted from the 1959 comic novel of the same name by U.S. author Terry Southern.
I've watched both only recently, well The Boy Who Turned Yellow was this year but The Magic Christian perhapse a couple of years back. Both are very good and will probably see further discusion around these parts but for now I'm intrigued by the link which is the appearence of this T-Shirt worn by a classmate of young John Saunders (Mark Dightam) for reasons as yet unknown.
What ever they may be its not an accident though because she's clearly framed in the shot. Somehwere somebody or something links these two films...time will tell
I do like an impossible mystery.
