Peter Sellers Centenary Collection [Blu-ray]

Celebrating the Genius of Peter Sellers: Step into the golden age of British comedy with this essential boxset celebrating the genius of Peter Sellers. From sly satire to uproarious farce, these eight films showcase Sellers at his most mischievous, magnetic, and masterful. A protean comic actor who first came to attention on the popular radio series The Goon Show (1951-1960), Peter Sellers remains one of the world’s most acclaimed comedy stars. Graduating from radio and TV to significant film roles, Sellers demonstrated a remarkable gift for character transformation.
