Excerpts from the BBC Arena program, "The Peter Sellers Story", a documentary directed by Peter Lydon featuring Seller's home movies shot with his portable cameras. These excerpts covers the year when Sellers became famous in the US and the time he spent with Stanley Kubrick, making "Lolita" and "Dr Strangelove" in England.
Producer James B Harris recollects how Sellers was hired for playing the ambiguous character of Quilty and why the production was moved in England. Kubrick is portrayed with his wife Christiane while playing tennis and chatting in Seller's home garden.
Scenes from both "Lolita" and "Dr Strangelove" are included and quotes from Kubrick statements about Sellers are read by the narrator.
The documentary features interviews with several Sellers' friends and cooperators and a clip from 1964 TV program The Steve Allen Show where Sellers was interviewed about how he created the character and the voice of the mad Dr Strangelove by taking inspiration from photographer Arthur Fellig, aka Weegee: a tape with Weegee's voice studied by Sellers is included, where the photographer talks about his nickname and his work.
Full documentary (3 hrs long) on Peter Lydon's vimeo profile. vimeo.com/10gallonfilms

A true work of genius by Kubrick - and a superb vehicle for Seller’s incredible virtuosity as an actor. Easily one of the greatest films ever made. A unique atmosphere unlike any other film ever made. A work of art.

Peter Sellers is one of those people who was so talented that award ceremonies often overlooked him. He should have won the Academy Award for Dr. Strangelove, but no. He didn’t win then and he didn’t win when nominated for Being There either. It’s a shame, but then again, the Oscars haven’t really gotten it right most of the time in decades.

DJ_Bullets Interesting, because I was unable to take “The Shining” seriously due to Nicholson's hamming up his performance to nearly comedic levels. Throughout the film, as Jack mugged shamelessly for the camera, I kept asking myself, “Where is the director?” With some sober directorial advice, Nicholson could have reduced the mania factor and turned into the haunted character he was supposed to be playing.

John Richards Funny. Nicholson's entire performance in The Shining was orchestrated by Kubrick. Spielberg had the same complaint, as many did, that Nicholson was too over the top. Kubrick's response to him, and I'm paraphrasing, was that it was his homage to James Cagney. The blame for the "hamminess" goes to Kubrick, ironically enough, not Nicholson.

@blkcandywarez think there are many indications Jack is insane from the start. Him staring in the mirror intently for seemingly hours before calling Danny over, the Donnor Party story out of nowhere, his total lack of shock or horror when hearing about the Grady murders (also the reason Jack is even looking for a new job is because he lost his old teaching job for beating up a student; this is very lightly insinuated) and we already know hes practically broken Danny's arm and until recently was a raging alcoholic (this is a very important point seeing that Jack is really struggling with sobriety throughout the picture). Yet all the while you can see him masking everything with some pressurized composure thats slowly losing its lid.

Joseph Nicholas One my favorite “little” films and a paen to the '60s. Sellers's character was sweet and the laughs he evoked at his character's expense were not from prejudice or malice, but from the understanding that Sellers is acting out our own insecurities when dealing with others. His performance was so brilliant, viewers forgot what a dog the rest of the movie was. As with “Being There”, Sellers made “The Party” worth watching.

I had English Grandparents and a Mother that forbade the watching of the 3 Stooges.With 5 boys born in 7 years she likely spared herself a trip to the emergency ward or 3. We grew up on the Carry On Movies, Tony Hancock and loved Eric Sykes, Terry Thomas etc. I collected comedy albums as a kid and had to scour the record stores for Goon Show LP's. There was nothing like that show before or since. It was Radio at its best. You can't really understand how brilliant Peter was without listening to these shows. Beyond The Fringe and Python came later and owed a lot to Sykes and Sellers.

I remember Arena doing this profile on Peter Sellers - it was absolutely brilliant - and came at just the right time for me as I was going thru a Sellers phase and really wanted to find out more about his life and career - and had already read Ps I Love You - the biography of him by his son - great book ! Then around 1999 (I believe?) the Arena program was aired and I was made up. He may have been a difficult and sometimes rather unpleasant person at times - who had issues - but he was a fascinating character who was undoubtedly a genius on screen. Died way too early. I miss him. He was a huge world wide star who shone bright for many years. RIP PS.

It's an amazing thing what two (or more, I suppose) can do when they work together and play off each other. Especially if, as in Kubrick's case, he manages to provide a perfect place to allow a Peter Sellers to blossom, and feel confident and encouraged to astound everybody watching. That's why it was so important, in the olden days, for the directors and actors/actresses to get along. On the other hand, in the days of CGI, the acting portion of the process has become almost unimportant. This is why most of the recent movies seem exceedingly dull to me. OK, a 14 YO loves some of them...

Every Stanley Kubrick film depicts a society or place that is well ordered, tightly-structured, even dull. But then things begin to unravel and a kind of madness which has been underlying it from the start begins to take over. I have been reading George Orwell and he talks about the 20th Century as being a new age of mechanization where people feel less and less significant as automation takes over our lives. Processes of production and consumption take centre and the very innovations meant to liberate us instead become our meaningless drive for perfection. There does appear to be an inevitable sense of pointlessness and directionless of living in the modern age which none of us can deny. As animals, we lack the capacity to deal with being displaced and consequently turn to violence in a desperate effort to reset the balance. Kubricks films often try to deal with these issues and people often say his films don't seem to age. Probably because he has highlighted something intrinsic about the human condition which never can fall out of fashion.

This was shown on A & E Channel (before it turned over to all crime related programming) when they aired their Biography series. He was hysterical in Strangelove and The Lady Killers. Growing up in the 70's I couldn't wait for the next Pink Panther movie. His Clare Quilty is great comedically menacing character that is nothing more than a supporting character in the book (at least to the best of my memory) and did not have the dark humor. Love the footage of Kubrick and his wife. How they kept a straight face while filming Sellars during Strangelove must have been Herculean task. It would have been interesting to see how he'd play Major King Kong, but then we'd be denied that amazing performance by Slim Pickens. Sellars claims that he just couldn't get the Texas accent down despite being given tapes made by the writer Terry Southern. Perhaps it was ego and not the overload of characters he was being asked to play. A great film nonetheless with not a dull momrnt in it.
@thPrisoner

Sellers did get the Texas accent down eventually but what happened is he broke his leg while rehearsing a cockpit scene. With the broken leg, he couldn't fit into the cockpit anymore. So in a rush, Kubrick thought of Slim Pickens whom he met on the film "One Eyed Jacks". Figuring Slim wouldn't need any voice acting since Slim pretty much plays Slim Pickens type characters anyways.

GREG FREEMAN “How they kept a straight face while filming Sellers in Strangelove . . .” But they didn’t! Sellers was constantly breaking up the crew and Kubrick himself. In fact, he wasn’t satisfied with his performance in a given scene in Strangelove UNTIL he broke everybody up. Fortunately the muffled chortles on the other side of the camera did not disrupt the very best takes, and so they as now part of film comedy history. And yes, I too enjoyed Sellers's restrained lunacy in “The Ladykillers.” But to my mind, Guinness stole the show with his brilliant characterization.

I believe "Dr. Strangelove" is thought to be largely based on Dr. Edward Teller.

End titles has the credits. Although it reminds me of some New York heavy cats from the nineties....the syncopation is very much like this guy I can't think of...a sax player who has a vocalist on his album...and she's singing, 'everyone has a destination....everyone needs.... a place...to go.'

It's called Cheetah by Andy Sheppard and Steve Lodder, and you can find all the music they made for this episode on an album called Moving image.

I've tried to get the Soundhound and Shazam Apps to recognise the sublime Alto Saxophonist music at th end of this short film, but they cannot identify this gorgeous music. Does anyone here know what it is called and who played it? It reminds me a little of Wayne Shorter's playing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/psB6obqm0di1kZc.html
