Not a huge fan but I remember seeing this and still think it's rather good. Sellers doing A Hard Day's night as Olivier's Richard III.

Very funny bloke but very troubled bloke in real life. A bit of a Robin Williams type who was likely depressed and felt like he had to be ‘on’ all the time. No wonder he became mates with Keith Moon.

I think PS himself said that if you strip away all the characters he played and the personas he created for films there’s be nothing left of himself underneath.

In one of the David Niven biographies I read, DN was chuffed to be in the Pink Panther and there was early talk of it being a franchise so he thought he’d be quite in for years to come, then when PS got involved he stole the show and it gradually dawned on Niven that his character was being moved aside to make room for more Clouseau.

DYT.

Did some work in the house he had built in Hampstead for him and Britt Eckland after they were married. Long after he sold it like. It’s more like a medical centre than a house.

Brilliant underrated actor. Was a totally different character in every single movie role he did.

 

[Old Git]

He came to fame in 'The Goon Show' on the radio playing the characters Bluebottle and Major Denis Bludnok. A comic genius.

Bloodnok was and is a favourite of mine.

 

[Big Duke Six]

His last ever Film is a masterpiece. Check it out.
Being There..

 

[stephen cartwright]

He had an impersonation of Michael Caine, nigh on perfect

 

[Lukas73]

The goon show was/is class....listen to it a lot

 

[ThePistols]

He's class in Dr Strangelove.

Never actually seen it, but it's on TCM Tuesday 7.00. Time I saw it.

 

[Kid Galahad]

Class, also one of Elvis' favourite films! Wrong Arm of the Law and Two Way Stretch are works of absolute genius from his early years if you haven't seen them.
