Peter Sellers - RARE interview - Parkinson - '74

[PilgrimSurgeon]

Great actor, remarkable comedian....after all these years, Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau is hilarious!

[1815brian]

Sorry, very dated and more than a bit racist,

[Scottishnongolfer1]

@1815brian Lighten up

[1815brian]

@Scottishnongolfer1 Do you mean whiten up?

[TheTotenhawk]

@1815brian LOL , oh boy, ANOTHER FUCKING VICTIM . you poor poor little minority.

HOW CAN WE COMPENSATE YOU .

[1815brian]

@TheTotenhawk I am actually white and British, so you don't have to compensate me.

I know Peter Sellers was funny, but this stint was about as dated and funny as the Black and White Minstrel Show.

[dewexdewex]

Slimy Parkinson; never liked him.

[bergenxx]

He must be Robin Williams's biggest inspiration.. Both great actors and comedians, where Peter Sellers is the king of thrones

[Sam5726]

I literally teared up a little when he said he was "impossible to live with". :( This guy was more than awesome, and it's a huge shame he passed away too early. R.I.P Peter Sellers.

[1815brian]

@Sam5726 I don't think his ex-wives and children would agree with that. He probably made their lives hell.

[TheCrimsonsGhosts]

This was a great interview, but it's interesting to notice how his entire character changes when asked about happiness @ 12:00

Love him tho. Great actor.

[clouseau187]

Sellers is putting on a voice for the whole interview. Lunatic!

[davidjames81]

the greatest actor ever ..try and see The optimist ,or aka. The Optimist of nine elms. just amazing.

Peter Sellers very very misunderstood a true performer ,probably in the wrong era ,music hall genius ..

..he could almost change shape within a performance.

and loved his honesty in this interview admits his faults .R.I.P peter sellers...

[carllafong69]

@davidjames81 I recall him being interviewed while on a break from filming, in a field in France. An old French workman passed, grumbling to himself about something.

Without pausing for breath, Peter immediately began immitating the old guy, in cod-French. The impression was flawless.

Genius.

[jdkdar0902]

What an amazing person,in an era of amazing people :-)

[DaveKarl]

Accent MASTER!

[djlovejuice]

Pure genius, nothing more to say...

[bossyboots55]

[Visonu]

Warrington Minge LOL

[TheAltair4]

lol. His impersonation of Peter Lorre was absolutely perfect.
