Peter Sellers is one of the greatest character actors in the history of British cinema; a name to rank alongside Peter Finch, Alec Guinness and Trevor Howard. To mark the centenary of the year of his birth, The Cinema Museum will commence a seasons of six key Sellers performances.

Never Let Go (1960) is a 1960 British thriller film directed by John Guillermin with Sellers in the serious role of a crooked car salesman who buys log books from scrapped models and then gets similar cars stolen to order. Richard Todd, Elizabeth Sellars and Adam Faith co-star.

Followed by a Q&A discussion with leading film and media experts Professor Melanie Williams, Dr. Matthew Sweet (to be confirmed) and Julian Petley (to be confirmed).

Dr. Andrew Roberts, the curator of the event says: “Selecting the best of Seller’s work was a genuine challenge. At worst, he could be utterly self-indulgent; at his finest, he could variously induce laughter, fear and pain by his expressions alone”.

Doors open at 18.30, for a 19.30 start.

Refreshments will be available in our licensed cafe/bar.
