What more can you say about a genius storyteller, someone who makes life worth living. Thank you.

What a genius! He takes a tired old joke and turns it into a comic epic with his timing and voices. Lovely little snippet.

I'm glad Sellers' real voice is preserved in interviews such as this one!

I'm born and raised in Vancouver, Canada but both my parents were born in Italy as was all my uncles, aunts, godparents, etc. So I know all about the Italian accent and mannerisms. Peter does them to perfection. Bravo!

He was a genuine treasure. Only 3 public figures deaths have caused a tear in my eye. His is one.

absolute legend, that Italian accent and Italicised grammar are just hyper-real

When the most gifted comedians tell jokes or stories, the laughter throughout is as rich as any off the back of the punchline.

That's top-notch storytelling. Utter genius.

Thing with Sellers is that he commits every part of him to the voice... The visual mannerisms go with the voice... The Italian accent isn't just the accent, it's the "pigeon" English as well, the muddled up words of someone who has learned to communicate in English, but not someone who has been schooled in English/native speaker. It's all v clever.

All comedians are the same

He could do so many voices. In the Goon show they clowned around a lot, Sellers seemed to every episode try & succeed in making Harry Secombe & Spike Milligan laugh. It was recorded live for radio, it was crazy anyway but often turned into a complete shambles. Milligan talked in a great interview about phone calls he used to get from Sellers .

Even though he is now sadly dead and taken too soon he still has the ability to make millions of people howl with laughter.

Formidable guy! RIP!

Such an ear for dialect. There was so much greater talent in the 20th Century.

HE WAS AMAZING

OMG OMG HE IS INCREDIBLE EETRNAL

He was wonderful with his Italien Accent and never forget his French Accent as Inspector Clousesou in The Pinker Movies

He really was an amazing talent. I urge everyone to see Dr. Stranglelove to see this genius of a man in action.

One of the best

sellers was the John Lennon of comedy...or perhaps Lennon was the Sellers of rock music...

Loved the pink panther.

Pure genius and a social disaster. His accents are so accurate he is pitch perfect in accents and mannerisms.

'Vieni qui"...Grazie Pedro, I miss you.

If you watch enough interviews with Directors and others who worked with our man here, you notice they compliment his acting/comedic genius and will also convince you that the man was crazy. Real crazy.

Interesting this - Billy Connolly used the same gag about the two Scotsmen getting drunk in Rome. So this is where he nicked it from!

Love him! If you really are a fan of Mr. Sellers, you will check out Look there's a girl in my soup with a very young Goldie Hawn, a pseudo love story and I love you Alice B Toklas, inevitably about pot brownies. He is one of a kind, missed very much. Rock on Pete!

I would be fascinated to hear Gay Byrne speak about his impression of Peter Sellers.. e.g. whether or not they met offscreen and what was said, etc etc. Peter had talent to burn but he was a veeerrry strange bloke, by all accounts. He was actually living in Ireland at this time and apparently going through one of his more eccentric phases.. ;)

This was entertainment, real entertainment, no smut, no f-words, just honest-to-goodness entertainment, if we, in those days fancied a little more of the innuendo, we went to see another great entertainer, Max Wall, the greatest clown whoever trod the boards...

Not only that. See, he got the accent down pat. He wasn't comfortable, but he could do it. The problem was when you have an airplane suspended on a rig 15 feet in the air with the bomb doors open and a director who's prone to starting drama and an actor who's borderline histrionic, accidents happen. They got in a row and Peter Sellers slipped right out of the plane and only broke his ankle (surprisingly). But at that point the workload of 4 characters was too much for him and he wasn't able to maneuver around in the plane due to his injury. Bit of a weird fact.
