"Classic Sellers as always"

While Toreador has more pathos than is usual for Sellers the combination with the more traditional comedy, Wrong Arm, makes this a nice glimpse into his immense talents,

Description

Peter Sellers Collection

Enjoy two Peter Sellers classic comedys in the special first time to DVD collection.

The Waltz of the Toradores is a rumbustus comedy with a strong romantic theme, concerning the life and loves of an ageing General and womaniser. General Fitzjohn (Peter Sellers) is a lecherous old military man who suffers the daily nagging of his bedridden wife (Margaret Leighton). He dreams of earlier days when he enjoyed the platonic company of the beautiful Ghislaine (Dany Robin). When Ghislaine shows up many years later, to express her desires to take their relationship beyond the platonic level, their plans to advance are temporally postponed. Leaving Ghislaine in the care of his aid, the love affair deepens and farcical complications arise. There is keen wit and skillfully drawn pathos as story comes to light. '

Wrong Arm of the Law:

Comedy legend Peter Sellers stars in this hilarious crime comedy as Pearly Gates, the head of an organised crime syndicate who maintains a double identity as Monsieur Charles Jules, owner of a high-class ladies' clothing boutique. Organizing the spectacular robberies from behind the front of his haute-couture dress salon, Pearly uses his position to get information from his rich, matronly clients and then sends his gang in to rob their house when he knows they'll be empty.

An Australian gang appears on the London criminal scene, posing as police officers they intersect Pearly's men after the robberies and make off with the loot. At first, Pearly suspects that they may be working for a rival Irish gang, but it’s soon realised that both gangs are being ripped off. With the police and the criminals being made to look stupid Pearly Gates teams up with rival gang leaders and the police to capture the double-crossing crooks and restore order to the London underworld and thereby “re-establish the status quo, apropos the criminal and society”. . His true plan however, is to arrange a robbery and getaway of his own."
