No, having 6 directors messed that movie up

<if the movie “The Live and Death of Peter Sellers” is in the slightest bit true, I’m surprized they found anyone.

I was thinking the same thing. Sick, twisted, evil little man. Personally, I can’t stand the Pink Panther movies; I just don’t like that kind of comedy.

“The Party” is an underated comedy. Very funny stuff.

Jim Danforth did the effects for “7 faces of Doctor Lao.” Harryhausen had nothing to do with the movie.

The Party is one of my favorite comedies.

The Party is one I have in my collection. It’s still hilarious

Peter Sellers played three roles (albeit one role was pretty much over by the time the opening credits were completed) in my all-time favorite Peter Sellers movie: PRISONER OF ZENDA.

Although I have to admit that my favorite characters in that movie were Stuart Wilson as the mercenary, Rupert of Hentzau, and Simon Williams as young Fritz, the aide to General Sapt and Commander of the King's Bodyguard Cavalry.

Also one of my particular favorites as far as a Henry Mancini musical score.

“I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!” Good movie.

Very interesting. I’ll have to try and see that. My parents (and of course us kids) were big fans of The Goon Show recordings and we listened to the albums over and over and knew quite a bit by heart. Much comedy today is so lame compared to folks like Sellers.

He was good at that.

Liked him in Lolita. (he played only 1 character but that character pretended to be other people)

Does anybody remember "The Running, Jumping and Standing Still Film".

It was a short feature...and my first introduction to Sellers.

Filmed like a silent movie -- B & W, no dialogue, musical background -- and intensely funny original comedy, unlike anything I had ever seen before.
