Has anyone seen this yet? I went to see it on Monday, excellent film! I did hear a couple complaining after that the film was totally misleading and Peter Sellers was all squeaky clean....:rolleyes: Hmmm I don't think so.

Well worth a visit to the cinema.

I saw this about a month ago in Sydney and loved it. Geoffrey Rush is brilliant as Sellers who is portrayed as a flawed genius unable to cope with reality and so hides behind a series of characters and funny voices.

My only complaint is that the Goons are scarcely mentioned, when it was Spike Milligan's wonderful scripts that gave Sellers his springboard to success. The film starts with the Goons at their radio peak and from there Sellers launches his film career.
Interestingly Steve Pemberton from the League Of Gentlemen plays Harry Seacome

Indeed a great film, taking some friends to see it tonight. Geoffrey Rush was fantastic. I saw him on the Jonathan Ross show talking about the film, that was the first time I heard of it.
