| Dr. Strangelove mid-"She Loves You" screen shot |
Sure, he was Chief Inspector Clouseau (the
Pink Panther series) and Hrundi V. Bakshi (
The Party) and Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Muffley, and Dr. Strangelove (
Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb), not to mention Chauncey Gardiner (
Being There), but the inimitable Peter Sellers (1925-1980) was also Laurence Olivier's Richard III performing a spoken-word version of his friends The Beatles's "A Hard Day's Night" and both Dr. Strangelove and an Irishman (not at the same time) covering "She Loves You." Difficult to fathom, I know, but there you have it, and there you have, in a nutshell, Peter Sellers, and that's why it's good that his performances have been preserved on tape (story, videos):
