Peter Sellers

This book analyzes Peter Sellers' film career, looking at over 50 of his films. As well as analyzing each Sellers film from 1951, providing interesting anecdotes, behind-the-scenes information and contemporary criticism, Michael Starr also probes aspects of Sellers' personality, arguing that his film career cannot be fully appreciated without trying to understand his progressively bizarre professional behaviour. The book uses a variety of sources, including a lengthy personal interview with Blake Edwards, director of Sellers' four "Pink Panther" films.
