Mr. Topaze
I love this film very much. Found it recently on youtube and imagine my joy.
Cute little movie full of truth. More people need to see this, especially educators.
I have no idea whether Seller's ever directed any other film. I just enjoy this one, and it's totally forgotten now, which is sad.
It's maybe not a masterpiece, but it surely is an enjoyable watch.
I saw this film on its release at the local Odeon In my film diary I wrote "TERRIBLE!!!!".I have to say that after trying , unsuccessfully,to plough my way through this film,I agree with my previous verdict.. This film came at a time when Sellers was trying to change his career from playing comedy roles such as Fred Kyte to comedy and dramatic roles,but this was not a complete success as this film proves. Maybe Sellers fans are just to pleased to be able to see this film,than to be able to review it objectively.
This is truly a very interesting film. It's not a masterpiece, but it's worth watching this film if you like Peter Sellers.
So, Sellers is not only an amazing actor, but also succesful as a director...Not surprised. What a talented chap! Sadly, the film is not as popular as it deserves to be.
