Was on TCM last night. GREAT GREAT FILM!! Sellers was originally supposed to do 4 parts in this but twisted his ankle and couldn't. I think he was supposed to play a Texan i don't recall. No matter, he was a genius.
Movie was done in 1964, even then it was really expensive to make a film in color (there wasn't a lot of budget for the film), plus since it is a dark comedy, the producers thought it would intensify and contrast the comedy well.
1:35 this is my favorite part. Movie is so good.
