yep Rush is a GREAT actor! But the film pulled its punches.

I'm not absolutely sure but I'm probably the MOST avid fan of the Goon Show here at AA, having an abiding affection for Eccles (Spike's alter ego and MINE) and Neddie Seagoon mainly.

I was also firmly imprinted by the characters/sayings that Sellers played - especially *Bluebottle and Major Bloodnok! All of his chars - in TGS - are dirty-minded selfish gits! I was once a *dirty-minded pre-pubertal (and very 'british!') boy, and Australia copped it's fair share of purple-nosed Indian-Army-ret'd types post partition.

I deeply respect what Peter Sellers did achieve given his serail destructiveness, and poor choices of films.

Personally, having avidly read every Sellers biography, and met Spike, I can affirm that the film was FAR too kind to Pete.

Who was an immature, if not perennially childish, double-dyed shit, arsehole, and psychopath. Should have been spayed at birth!

His mother and his childhood are often blamed, but we all can make choices, can't we!?

Funny, brilliant, scary creepily so ......... !? ohh yes!

Rush did a very good job.
