Hello Channing,
I saw "The life and Death of Peter Sellers" here in australia a couple of months ago at the cinema, and I have to say it was wonderful! Geoffrey Rush was amazing in it, and I hope that he is nominated for an Academy Award - his interpretations of Sellers and other characters that Sellers played is spooky with how accurate he was. Charlie Theron does an excellent part also!
I'd have to say that Dr. STrangelove is one of my all time fave Peter Sellers movies, and I love the poster for that film too.

Hello MOPOers --
Roger Ebert mentioned that Peter Sellers was a person who was universally disliked by those who knew him personally but gave tremendous pleasure to the world through his talent. Since the overwhelming majority of us never knew him as anything other than a wonderful actor it's very easy to remember what a talented and delightful performer he was. As a child of the 1960s, Peter Sellers was one of my real stars -- I especially remember enjoying the following films:
The Pink Panther Dr. Strangelove A Shot in the Dark The World of Henry Orient Casino Royale The Party I Love You Alice B. Toklas Return of the Pink Panther Murder By Death Being There
I saw many of these on their first theatrical release -- as a group they are a testimony to the range and talent of this wonderful actor! I will be seeing the film THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS in a theatrical screening tomorrow night in San Francisco. I'm especially excited to see Charlize Theron's interpretation of Britt Eklund. . . should be terrific!
Channing Thomson in San Francisco
