Peter Sellers Collection DVD

A comic actor who first came to attention on the popular radio series The Goon Show, Peter Sellers remains one of this century's most acclaimed comedy stars. Graduating from radio and TV to big screen, Sellers demonstrated a remarkable gift for character transformation.

The three films in this box-set are from the late 50s / early 60s period of Sellers' career before he became an international star as Inspector Clouseau. I'm All Right, Jack (1959) won Sellers a BAFTA for Best Actor as a naive ex-soldier looking to get ahead in business who unwittingly ends up as a pawn in the machinations between management and the trade unions; Only Two Can Play (1962) sees Sellers as John Lewis, a bored librarian tempted by the wife of a local councilor - risky stuff in a small Welsh Valley town; and finally Heavens Above! (1963), a British comedy of manners par excellence in which Sellers' socialist priest is mistakenly sent to an upper-crust parish. The box-set is completed by a definitive collection of his very best work: The Very Best of Peter Sellers.
