HORSE'S MOUTH (1958)

Gulley Jimson (Alec Guinness), an artist, has just been released from prison and he does not waste any time to begin painting again. However, painting is not a vocation that pays the bills unless you have someone who buys your paintings.  Mr. Jimson is fully aware of the monetary difficulty for an artist, but it does not concern him.  After an incident with a previous buyer, he meets the Beeder’s who want to buy a painting from him.  Somehow the Beeder’s get more than what they asked for. Horse’s Mouth is a light-hearted trip into the philosophy of an artist.
