Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren - ‘Peter and Sophia’
August 25th, 2006
Peter Sellers was a comic genius. A bit ADD at times, but more or less, a classic ahead of his time.
The first two Pink panther films (The Pink Panther and A Shot In The Dark) showcase his slapstick side, Dr. Strangelove displayed his range of characterizations, The Party was amazing improv and Being There was his coup de grace.
He also recorded music - if you could call it that. It wasn’t Grammy-winning songwriting, but the point was brilliant comic material for its time. He did an album of duets with his then crush, Sophia Loren. She does some songs herself as does Peter. There’s even some comic sketches on it with his wide array of British voices. However, its the duets that stand out the most.
