THE LIFE AND DEATH OF PETER SELLERS

The Hollies with Peter Sellers - After The Fox

Peter Sellers has always been one of my favorites, but after seeing this movie, I'm thinking Geoffrey Rush should certainly not be overlooked. That's clearly one retarded statement. Geoffrey Rush is excellent in any movie he makes. But in this one he's absolutely incredible. In some scenes I actually thought they'd used archive footage of Sellers himself. I mean look at this picture. That's Geoffrey! And you should see him move and talk like Peter, it's mind blowing. They say he'd refused the role initially, said he didn't feel up to the job of filling Peter's shoes, but after doing one of those pirates movies, he felt he'd eased himself into the right frame of mind for playing Peter Sellers. And indeed he had.
All that and a really catchy song. The one with Sophia Loren was a bit overly catchy.
