Plot Summary

Beauregard Bottomley (Ronald Colman) is the most brilliant man in the world — or at least he believes so. Armed with advanced degrees in nearly every known field, he is humiliated when soap magnate Burnbridge Waters (Vincent Price) refuses to hire him on the grounds of being dangerously overqualified. Beauregard hatches an audacious plan for revenge: enter the company’s nationally broadcast television quiz show and answer every question correctly until he wins enough prize money to buy out the entire Milady Soap Company.

Week after week, Beauregard’s encyclopedic knowledge stuns the studio audience, baffles the network sponsors, and threatens to bankrupt the corporation. A desperate Waters dispatches the enchanting Flame O’Neill (Celeste Holm) to seduce Beauregard and shatter his concentration. Barbara Britton co-stars as Gwenn Bottomley, his devoted sister, while real-life television host Art Linkletter delivers a wonderfully self-aware performance as quiz show emcee Happy Hogan. Vincent Price, far better known for horror, revels magnificently in pure comedic villainy.

Originally filmed in black and white in 1950, Champagne for Caesar was a prescient satire of mass media, consumer culture, and corporate cynicism that feels just as relevant today. The professionally restored and colorized version makes every lavish set, every period costume, and every scheming expression shine with new clarity.
