I came across the book The Man Who "Framed" The Beatles-a biography of Richard
Lester-by Andrew Yule,intro by Paul McCartney.
I've only started and it's not all kind words but some is very interesting.Per
the index there will be 19 pages where Peter Sellers' name comes up- some
photos-all B&W.It's not new-late 90's-but I just found it.
Here's a funny quote:
" Sellers recruited Lester to halp devise a TV commercial for Persil laundry
detergent. Together they came up with the idea of a plowed field,where peasants
carrying large straw baskets filled with Persil were sowing it like seed.Cut to
little plants growing,the sun shining on little Persil packets.Harvested they
are carried off,placed in a huge vat where peasants trample them like grapes.
Cut to finale,the soapy water pours out and a technician,like a wine
connoisseur,tastes the liquid,rolls it about on his tongue,pauses in thought
before spitting it out and declaring-'It's only fit to wash in.'
Carried away with the idea,and giggling helplessly in their innocence-Sellers &
Lester had the notion that they could push this past the powers-to be."
I found this fun to share-I can picture the fun they were having.
Happy Birthday Peter Sellers.
