Such a great subtle nuance to Peter Sellers…probably his most underrated work, and dare I say, best performance?
A satirical look at American society, politics, and culture. Peter Sellers disappears into one of his best roles.
A wonderful movie that is as profound as it is funny. Totally unique. One of the better movies ever made.
It’s weird in a way, but nice. Not realistic more like allegorical
A very interesting political comedy. With the impressive acting of the late Peter Sellers. The film is a complete satire of American society
Touching performance by Peter Sellars in this watchable movie. Seen twice, would watch again.
Meditative and sweet film about how far kind-heartedness will get you. A good rainy day watch, very uplifting and innocent
A little like the precursor to Forrest Gump
An oddball comedy on the simple things.
breath of fresh air, original in every way
