Synopsis
Enjoy some of Peter Seller's finest screen moments!
Collected together for the first time, this 6 DVD Set spans 3 decades of Sellers' stellar career!
The Collection includes:
Trial and Error
A powerful comic drama featuring excellent performances from Sellers and Oscar-winner Attenborough. After 40 years of waiting for his big chance, Wilfred Morgenhall (Peter Sellers) is given the case of defending Herbert Fowle (Sir Richard Attenborough) who is accused of murdering his wife.
The Great McGonagall
Goon legends Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers team up in this cult British comedy classic
In this high-camp farce, Spike Milligan stars as William Topaz McGonagall, an unemployed Scottish weaver and aspiring poet laureate who falls in love with Queen Victoria, played brilliantly by Sellers.
The Millionairess
The hit comedy that catapulted Sellers into Hollywood
Referenced in The Life and Death of Peter Sellers
Stunning Sophia Loren plays a wealthy heiress able to buy anything she wants. After meeting an Indian Doctor (Peter Sellers), she decides she wants a husband. Terrified of being in her power, the doctor foils all her attempts to ‘buy’ him.
Battle of the Sexes
In one of his best early roles, Sellers plays the wry, mild-mannered Mr Martin, the lifetime employee of a Scottish tweed company who is moved to murder when the firm is taken over by a brash, domineering American woman.
One of Sellers’ finest and funniest performances
The Blockhouse
Sellers stars as one of a group of slave workers drafted by the Nazis to build coastal defences during WW11. They endure hellish conditions when trapped in an underground bunker after the allies land on D-Day.
Where Does it Hurt?
In this classic hospital farce, Sellers plays Dr. Albert T. Hopfnagel, a greedy, crooked hospital administrator who has perfected the art of bill-padding, unnecessary surgery and kickbacks. Sellers again steals the show with an absurd and hilarious character study.
