The mixture of reality and fantasy jarred a bit and I often felt like it didn't go as deep into his life as I would've liked, but it was entertaining. Made Sellers look like an absolute anus, though, which will forever affect any future viewings of 'Dr. Strangelove' or 'The Ladykillers'....

My mum sat me down and made we watch Casino Royale... I was blown away. Regardless of his character he's one of the best physical comedians ever. Not necessarily slapstick either, just the way he holds himself and the little touches he adds in. I was in hysterics just watching him walk into the Femme Fatale's apartment and ignoring her advances to take a peek at the fish.

'The Life And Death....' documents how unhappy he was working on 'Casino Royale' as he wanted to play Bond straight but the director wanted slapstick. Don't know if this was just for dramatic effect but it's the one part of the film where you actually pity him slightly.

That's interesting... I don't know if you pick up on that in the movie. Woody Allen steals the show as usual though. Another asshole genius.
