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.

I’m All Right Jack (1959), the Boulting Brothers satire on British industrial life in the 1950s, features one of Sellers’s best remembered roles, as Fred Kite, the communist shop steward at the missile factory where Ian Carmichael’s hapless Stanley Windrush has been sent to spy on the workers.

Followed by a Q&A discussion with leading film and media experts Dr. Graham McCann, Robert Ross and David Stubbs.

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.
