The Mouse That Roared (1959) is mostly remembered as a tour-de-force by a peerless comic actor, Peter Sellers, playing all three of the principal roles. It's worth seeing for that reason alone, but the film is also one of the most memorable satires of nuclear geopolitics produced during the cold war and, along with another Sellers vehicle, Dr. Strangelove, provides an unbeatable illustration of the paranoia and helplessness engendered by that period. "The Mouse That Roared tells the story of the fictional European principality of Grand Fenwick. Finding itself on the wrong end of a trade dispute with the United States, and noting America's generosity in rebuilding the countries it had fought in World War II, Grand Fenwick's rulers hit upon the idea of declaring war on the U.S., losing, and then reaping a Marshall Plan-style handout. The plan, proposed by Grand Fenwick's prime minister (played by Peter Sellers), is approved by the monarch (also played by Peter Sellers), who dispatches an invasion force under the command of Grand Fenwick's hapless Field Marshal (also played by Peter Sellers). Due to a series of happenstances and misunderstandings, however, Grand Fenwick's plan goes terribly wrong"... --Andrew Mueller >>ORDER THE DVD<<
The Bobo - AKA The Singing Blue Matadore DVD...
For the minstrel matador Juan Batistsa, only one thing holds him back from becoming Spain's most famous singing bullfighter. That "obstacle" is Olimpia, the most beautiful and manipulative woman in all Barcelona. Juan must "conquer" her before the local impresario will put his name in lights. And he's got just three days (and nights) to do it! You'll hail Peter Sellers' conquering comedy genius in this fast-paced farce - and be smitten at the comedic charms of his then-wife Ekland, keeping pace as a pampered princess whose foxlike inituition is somehow always overwhelmed by Juan's ridiculous stabs at suavity. Together they're an irresistible mismatch. And like the chameleon to which he was often compared, the film's finale - an all-time-great sight gag - proves Sellers could turn any color needed to make movie fans smile.
