Walking down a Saturday in this spot and I see Peter Sellers
Nana said I want you to come and direct my movie
All you gotta say is yes, you know, I'm like an idiot. I said, yes, it could have been a great movie
I mean it was an absolute living nightmare
It's the only film that I can ever remember where the producers God said after her first week by the star
one day after another they could not go to sea because of the way because of the weather for us it
started beautifully his dan girlfriend was Liza Minnelli and
They broke up the day before and he hit the most deepest kind of catatonic depression
Peter arrived and this nightmare set in and Peter
Threw a wobbly and said I'm not making this film not one more day until my friend Spike
Milligan is here spike saved ya. I'm not taking the responsibility for all this
This is on a disaster course and I can't put it right. What's awful
There's a director go in a late direction and there's a actor
standing up as a shop steward Peter Sellers was having a
Meeting with a crew to vote no confidence in the director after a week of shooting
I was most concerned about Peter medics
General approach and I immediately gave him my views which are in essence that Medak should be replaced. It's a complete lie
It's it's no veneer of what my career would have been had this fucking letter wasn't written
I was here 42 years ago in this same footsteps, and I'm here today in 2015
Which is just inconceivable to me when I came from London
And we couldn't just get into a taxi or to a car
We had to wait for the UN convoy at the airport and they had to go across
several checkpoints
and today
42 years later the same thing history is happening
Remember me and Peter standing there having an argument about nothing
You know
I know that they are laughing their head off up there and they saying to each other saying what is that fucking?
Hungarian doing here and
when he got to just about here, he suddenly
And collapsed pretended to have a heart attack in order to get the next plane without anybody knowing it and
Go to London to have dinner with Princess Margaret. Then he turned up two days later with some fakes
Doctor certificate from remember Tony Greenberg, of course, I can quite easily
Understand because it would be the sort of thing. I would have done. He was a good friend if you say well ok
I'm ill so
From that point on he did everything
To sabotage it post on Kansas yet again screaming. We walking running. No, I was running
You know what uncle too tired to run down and he screaming to go God, you know crotch
You know hurt then I get here is the bloody guard here. This is gun on me saying, what's your password?
I said fuck off. That's my password
There were great rumours of sort of CIA
Involvement in the shoes. I wish it would have been true
Yeah, it would have been better than working for Columbia films. My career nearly. Come was completely destroyed by this movie
by the movie, but Peter
was
Extremely difficult working with him. I mean I loved him
Yeah in the sense that you love a great artist and he was a great genius a genius. Yeah
of great great creative genius
Which was lifting? Yes, which he cannot find that is none of it. You cannot find the magic anywhere
And he tried to hit me, you know and it sort of hit me in the side of the jaw
And I thought I really can't let him get away with it, you know?
And I hit him as well. So Peter started laughing and walked off the set the last I saw of them
Spike called me and said Peters that peach died. I'll put the phone down
One day have become the paper and is dead
And I said, it's not fair you can't be dead
When despite of it all I absolutely loved him because he was a fucking genius
You
