Peter Sellers Centenary Collectio

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.

THE LADYKILLERS (1955)

THE LADYKILLERS follows the hilarious capers of a group of small-time crooks, taking on more than they can handle in the form of their sweet elderly landlord, Mrs. Wilberforce (BAFTA Award winning actress Katie Johnson; How To Murder A Rich Uncle). The criminal gang, posing as a string quartet, are unprepared for their landlord’s meddling when one of the ‘musicians’ cases gets caught in a door, revealing the group’s true identity.

THE SMALLEST SHOW ON EARTH (1957)

However, they soon find themselves increasingly attracted to the fleapit and the three old staff members that go with it.

CARLTON BROWNE OF THE F.O. (1959)

I’M ALRIGHT JACK (1959)

Along with a misfit crew of fellow inmates he plans to escape from prison, steal a priceless cache of diamonds and then return to his cell before anyone notices. Who said genius was easy?
