*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***Screen legend Peter Sellers unleashes his unique comedic brilliance upon these five classic U.K. productions. Man in a Cocked Hat (1959) – When valuable mineral deposits are discovered on the forgotten Pacific island colony of Gaillardia, bumbling British envoy Carlton-Browne (Terry-Thomas) is sent to investigate. Can the Empire’s most disastrous diplomat restore relations with the gleefully corrupt Prime Minister Amphibulos (Sellers) before the Cold War comes to a boil? I'm All Right Jack (1959) – Sellers plays dual roles in a laugh-out-loud lampooning of labor relations. Two Way Stretch (1960) – Sellers shines as criminal “mastermind” Dodger Lane, who has been concocting the perfect robbery in prison. The Wrong Arm of the Law (1963) – Cockney kingpin “Pearly” Gates (Sellers) runs London’s most efficient gang of thieves, organizing spectacular robberies from behind the front of a haute-couture dress salon. Heavens Above! (1963) – Sellers is divine as Reverend John Smallwood, an idealistic chaplain who is assigned to a wealthy parish where his progressive ideas are frowned upon. His actions start offending not only the townspeople but the religious hierarchy and even the government itself. Can the Church of England silence their most compassionate cleric, or will the vicar escape to serve the highest calling of all?
