The Life and Death of Peter Sellers is the true story of the comedian, who would later immortalize bumbling Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series. From his beginnings in show business as a variety performer to his ultimate success as a movie star, Peter Sellers was a man of many faces. But his on-screen persona slipped into his personal life. Sellers became a man without an identity and only a library of oddball characters to make up for his personality. Focusing on his rising success and his family, the movie tells the story of a man whose personal life clashed with stardom; an individual completely immersed in the characters he portrayed.
