The Ghost of Peter Sellers

In the early ‘70s, young director Peter Medak ("Zorro, The Gay Blade") was tapped by Peter Sellers to take the helm of his pirate comedy "Ghost in the Noonday Sun." Between the star’s temperament, the redone-on-the-fly script, and production accidents, the shoot proved to be an end-to-end fiasco with an end product its studio deemed unfit for release. This cutting and confessional documentary look back at the experience and its aftermath from Medak offers singular insights into a long-notorious project. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English,
