More DescriptionPeter Sellers left behind a rich legacy of film work, some of which is only belatedly recognised for its genius. Especially notable were his numerous crazy accents. Though he generally is identified as the slapstick Inspector Clouseau of the Pink Panther series (from 1964 on), he is recalled by many for such earlier efforts as his triple role in The Mouse That Roared (1959), and his masterly breakthrough to the mainstream American market in I'm All Right, Jack (1959). This book analyses each Sellers film from 1951, not least his Oscar-nominated tripe-role stint in Dr. Strangelove.
