He can hold his head up with the very best.”And it is the comic genius of Peter Sellers that is the driving passion of this book. A labour of love by Robert Ross, Britain’s Comedy Historian, in which the well-documented wealth, wives, and weirdness of Peter’s personal life is referenced only when it fully impacts his happiest place: as an interpretive, dedicated, truthful actor.Whether it is Doctor Strangelove; Inspector Clouseau; or Chance the Gardener, Sellers had the conviction and the control to become his characters.It’s a legacy of laughter which still holds the world bewitched and enthralled; a legacy here put into historical and comical context.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Robert RossGenre: BiographyTopic: Music Dance & TheatreRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
