The Austrian Margret Dünser was a wonderful interviewer. You can see how relaxed Peter Sellers is. - She could even tame Klaus Kinski.

They went with the right ending.

I thought he was born in Southsea

Wonderful interview!!❤ but too bad there's a German v.o. though

Spike took the piss out of this ridiculous interviewer

Now we are all.psychiatric experts. Peter sellers is simply a man expressing the reality of pain men all suffer in this world

Not many of us would admit the Goon is within us all. The cost of letting it out is too difficult so lets never comment on how we see these brave guys

To think he died with in a year 1980😊

where is richard in all this

Pretty much only knowing Sellers as Clouseau and Dr. Strangelove, he sounds funny to me speaking in his native English.

Guy doesnt know who he is.

Sellers died in 1980...this is 1979

Poor Peter, I wish he'd had a kinder life. But who knows, perhaps he was happy.

He died the following year of a heart attack himself. But he had previous heart issues before that. He was only 54.

Peter was a genius, he would completely become the character, and you would forget that it was Peter, absolutely brilliant,

Sellers was a genius but the gravitas of George Sanders sealed every scene he was in. I think a mooouth would crack any serious actor up!

He could be an absolute genius but also appalling to people. Surrounded by too many yes men when he should have been seeking psychiatric treatment. Only Spike was able to tell him this because he was a fellow sufferer

Fascinating man

Wonderful, intelligent actor and comedian. Wish he was still around

All the characters 😂 Even in commercials he was a genius

Wonderful interview - you could feel that he enjoyed it himself.

Maria Gambrelli is innocent!

Greeted by weak laughter, and that’s about all they were worth…

La Costa Lotta

What about USC student?

Like Italians ,like you Peter!

That Indian bit was a throw back to “The Party “ one of the greatest comedies ever made

That's right after he completed Being There.

Zuckerberg looks like him if he had a moustache.

A most urbane ,sensitive and melancholic gentleman.

That John Lennon impression was on point!

Graham Stark was Sellers best foil. 60 years on, it's still brilliant.

All actors live dangerously. And they know it. But talent conquers all. Only a few actors have it. Peter Sellers was legendary. Alice b toklas and The Party being my two faves.

A complete one-off!!! A genuis.

He was a flawed genius and I mean that as a compliment. Easily the most talented comic character actor of my lifetime, but privately many said he was a completely different persona. I remember his final interview at the 1980 Cannes film festival where he joked that catching a cold could even kill him, 2 months later he was dead. He was in Ireland to film 4 adverts for Barclays in late April early May 1980, but took ill after riding a bicycle in the third advert (he never completed the fourth) and was rushed to hospital. He was kept in hospital for observation and against doctors advice, he discharged himself and headed to Cannes for a Lorimar Pictures event about Being There. Both he and his then wife Lynne Frederick played down the seriousness of his health problems and although they were now privately apart at this stage, she would still join him at public events in an attempt to dispell the rumours and support Peter. After Cannes, Peter retreated to his cabin in Gstaad Switzerland to work on the screenplay for what was proposed to be his final Pink Panther movie, while Lynne flew back across the Atlantic to Los Angeles. He flew to London in July 1980 with his redrafted "Romance of the Pink Panther" script as United Artists weren't happy with the original and demanded changes were made. He was due to fly on to Los Angeles to present the updated screenplay to United Artist executives, but wanted to spend a few days in London first. He was also apparently set to undergo an angiogram in Los Angeles, to see if his heart was fit enough for surgery. On his first day in London he paid a visit to where his mother's ashes were scattered (he'd never visited them before) and made plans to meet up with his fellow Goon friends the following evening. The next morning he had breakfast and signed some papers to initialise divorce proceedings from Lynne. He then had his favourite lunch (which was Dover Sole) at the Dorchester and went back to his suite feeling tired. He gave his PA a list of tasks for the afternoon and asked her to sort out which suit he should wear for his Goons reunion. He then pleaded with her to not to leave him alone as he was feeling faint and asked for some water.. She turned to fetch him a glass of water and then heard an almighty crash. When she turned round, Peter had fallen off his chair and was slumped on the floor, his face turning purple and lips blue. He fell into an immediate coma, never regained consciousness and despite the best efforts of everyone, he was gone to the world. For anyone who's a Peter Sellers fan, you can find the actual screenplay he drafted for his final Panther movie online. Filming was due to commence in early 1981 and the story was to be about the theft of the diamond by a fashion designer and his model wife, who Clouseau falls madly in love with. Pamela Stephenson was to play the lead female role and Sellers love interest in the film.

Oh, how I wish Peter had done more sit down chats throughout his career😢

Who is the women sitting beside Peter?

At the time of writing this, Joseph McGrath is still alive....

May you activate the subtiles for this documentary? Thanks.

18:42 I love this

Casino Royale is one of my favorite movies. And I think Ursula Andress was perhaps at her most Beautiful in this. Best Wishes. Sincerely, Tom

This is my favorite Panther movie. I've seen photographs of Clouseau with a blue ski suit, even in the VHS of "Return" there is a photo of him. Can anyone tell if it was a deleted scene from that movie or only some promo shoots?

My absolute favorite!

amazing!

This interview is as close to seeing the real Peter as any interview ever got

Saw a Whicker's world episode where he joked about heart attacks! Los Angeles 1980 ironic that he died soon after from just that.

"The look of love" could have been a perfect Bond song. Actually it is,and wou'd have worked had they filmed Casi Royale for real.

Where in Ireland did he live?, i heard he lived with a native american.

Two sublime geniuses gone FAR too soon! It's especially a pity how obscure Hal Ashby's work is today. He ranks up there with Coppola, Altman, Lumet, and Scorsese as one of the best film directors of the '70s.

From clouseau 's country ,l always appreciated Mr Sellers 'humor since my 12 /13 in mid sixties !! J'aime l'humour de Peter Sellers , even if he'd joke on froggies!!! blaudy parteneur!!
