i loved the world of henry orient! and i remember my mom telling me about it for a long time (i got my love of peter sellers from my parents, both were huge fans but my mom really loves him) but it wasn't an easy movie to track down. finally, was able to get it on dvd and watched it with her and it's such a beautiful coming of age story. and sellers is hilarious in it.

Back to GR level snark - doesn't he look a total douche with his Guido pout in the pic with Lynne Fredericks.

Yes, he really thought he was IT. I remember a story he told about Priscilla Presley begging him for a date after Elvis died.

Such arrogance about his ugly famous self and such nastiness at home.

There's an excellent biopic called, I think, The Life And Death Of Peter Sellers with PS played by Geoffrey Rush. It captures the douchery very well. Worth watching.

I remember Lynne Fredericks as the doomed Jewish girl in Voyage of the Damned...her storyline was so tragic.

Thanks, I'm going to look for that movie. Charlize plays Britt.

Regular streaming, good quality, just click where it says continue to file (In green). I'm watching it now.

The other one I loved was The Magic Christian with Ringo and an all star cast. Oh, and Alice B. Toklas!

Yes, to all three! I especially loved The World Of Henry Orient. Must watch again soon...

Peter Sellers was always a mixed-up guy, a childish fellow. But if you're fond of children, you're also fond of childish men. He was always very helpful to me. After he was famous and when I was still in trouble with the US embassy, he wrote a letter in support of me which was magnificent. But it is true that he was very cruel to his children. He was so hurt by the way children treat you when you're their father. I have been hurt by my children. But he was not in possession of a proper brain when it came to these things.

I fucking love Lom! He probably should have written some parenting books!

Ha! That's great!!! I love Lom too. He had the most amazing eyes and voice and seemed altogether like such a wise, elegant and humorous person. I wish he'd written an autobiography. I actively seek out films with him in them. And I wish I'd seen him in the original London production of "The King and I"...though he is at least on the old soundtrack recording.

His real name? Try to say this: Herbert Karel Angelo Kuchačevič ze Schluderpacheru. Fabulous!
