Rare Uncut Version of ‘The Peter Sellers Story: As He Filmed It’

 

By Sven Mikulec

 
For the avid Peter Sellers fan, this is the jackpot—the pot o’ gold at the end of the rainbow. Here’s the UNCUT version of The Peter Sellers Story: As He Filmed It, a very rare three and a half hour version of the documentary (not 90-minutes condensed rebroadcast version) directed by Peter Lydon. Using a unique collection of his own home movies shot between 1948 and 1977 and discovered years after his death, this film presents an intriguing and intimate portrait of Peter Sellers. Told in his own words, and including many well-known personalities from Stanley Kubrick (including a rare footage of Kubrick playing tennis in a suit!), Sophia Loren and Robert Wagner to members of the Royal Family, in particular Princess Margaret and Prince Charles, this revealing film builds a fascinating and definitive record of a unique genius.

With endless thanks to Peter Lydon.
