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...
