  be sensitive to the genius of Peter Sellers...and the extraordinarily brave performance of Shelley Winters.
  Seldom has an actress had the courage to make herself so despicable, and yet so vulnerable. It is this last trait that makes us hate ourselves for hating her.
  With a Lolita, what man of a certain age would NOT be Humbert?

    Well, that is a rather silly statement. If you mean appreciation of female beauty, then we all should have it, but as far as losing ourselves... well, broom way too broad.

    Sellers is a difficult case for me, as in his life, according too many witnesses, he was a real asshole, as for his genuis...Did I ever saw him in a role that I did like?
    Not even Dr. Strangelove.
    As for the " Lolita " in real live she behave like one, remembering the story of her filming with Richard Burton...

        Well I had it once on LD, but I always wanted to look again but never did, I never found out why!
        The principal idea in this film was quite good..But somehow torturous long in the details.
        But that is all from memory....

    • "Role" in Strangelove? Which ONE!? - tinear 08:17:35 02/04/04 (1)

      At least his British officer was perfect!
      I take it you do not enjoy his Inspector Clouseau?
      He also played in some earlier British comedies, one of which I remember with Terry Thomas which was hilarious.
      When he died of a heart attack, he was over-training to star in Dr. No (really).

        I like quite the director of the " Pink " Black Edwards. But curiously never did ANY of this series. Victor/Victoria this I did really like, even if now I do find a little trim here and there would not do harm.
        He was egomaniac, chase EVERY jupon ( skirt ) was a bad guy at other actors...Was mean to women.....
        But he was NOT a brillant actor....
        I saw him recently in a small episode with Shirley MacLaine it was playing the " friend of the family " at the burial of his friend, she was the widow...
