He lost confidence with the film immediately and tried to sabotage it, first firing the producers before turning on his friend (and the film's young director), Peter Medak. Despite an illustrious career and the passing of 43 years since the unraveling production, Medak is still reeling from the disastrous experience and healing the wounds inflicted by Sellers and the film's failure. The Ghost of Peter Sellers is a comic-tragic feature doc about what it takes to be a film director and survive your biggest disaster.]]></description><link>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C1008106</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C1008106</guid><category><![CDATA[BLURAY]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1008106181</comments><format>BLURAY</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=OWLS2255&amp;password=CC54911&amp;Value=760137185253&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ghost of Peter Sellers]]></title><description><![CDATA[In 1973 comedic genius Peter Sellers sabotaged his own pirate comedy.

Ian Carmichael ... co-stars as naive Oxford graduate Stanley Windrush, who is hired as a common worker at his wealthy uncle's missile factory and quickly becomes a pawn in the battle between management and Mr. Kite's labor union. But can both sides stop a complete nitwit from single-handedly destroying the economy while becoming the symbol of integrity for an entire nation?"]]></description><link>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C164828</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C164828</guid><category><![CDATA[DVD]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2003 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/164828181</comments><format>DVD</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=OWLS2255&amp;password=CC54911&amp;Value=013131145892&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mr. Strangelove]]></title><description><![CDATA["Screamingly funny, desperately unhappy, Peter Sellers broke all the rules of comedy with an explosive talent that made him a beloved figure in world cinema. Now, acclaimed biographer Ed Sikov offers a true behind-the-scenes look - based on dozens of interviews and exhaustive research - at the work and mysterious inner life of this extraordinarily gifted, exceptionally troubled comic genius." "The Goon Show made him famous; the Pink Panther movies made him rich; Lolita and Dr. Strangelove gave him artistic respectability. And yet Sellers - whose blistering improvisations could ruin takes by sending the casts and crews of his films into peals of uncontrollable laughter while the camera was running - remained confused and lonely, difficult to work with, volatile one minute and hopelessly lethargic the next. Sikov traces the development of Sellers's unique humor from his lonely childhood with a mother who wouldn't let go of him, through his service in the Royal Air Force and his success on BBC Radio, and on to his relationships with costars such as Alec Guinness, Sophia Loren, and Shirley MacLaine; his work with directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Billy Wilder, and Blake Edwards; his four failed marriages; his ridiculously short engagement to Liza Minnelli; and all the other peculiarities of this eccentric man's unpredictable life."--BOOK JACKET]]></description><link>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C111816</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S181C111816</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sikov, Ed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2002 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/111816181</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Biography of Peter Sellers</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://contentcafe2.btol.com/ContentCafe/Jacket.aspx?&amp;userID=OWLS2255&amp;password=CC54911&amp;Value=9780786866649&amp;content=M&amp;Return=1&amp;Type=M</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Life and Death of Peter Sellers]]></title><description><![CDATA[Peter Sellers was one of the most gifted British comic actors of his time, perfectly moving from costume to costume and accent to accent in a series of films that ranged from brilliant to awful.
