I have watched this movie twice in the last week: The Life and Death of Peter Sellers. Such a character he was! Now I am going to go on a Sellers binge with the Pink Panther, Being There and Dr. Strangelove. The biography style movie is told in a bit of a different way than most other movies in that genre. They don't just feed it to you, but show you parts all through his life and you fill in the gaps. It's a great screenplay. Minus Charlize Theron and her very bad Russian accent, the acting was all good. But even that may have been intentional as one of Peter's lines is: "God woman, you're a terrible actor and you can't stop."
I am so into movies right now. Winter has set in for sure. What else are you going to do??

I never knew how volatile and demanding he was. I guess thats the mark of a true actor, one who can hide his real persona under the character.
The new Pink Panther movie with Steve Martin and Beyonce' looks very lame though.
Check out The Mouse That Roared. It was an early Peter Sellers and I loved it when I was a kid!
