Original Peter Sellers Movie Posters

Peter Sellers movie posters offer one of cinema's great comedy collecting categories — authentic original prints from the career of the most protean character comedian in British film history, an actor who played multiple entirely distinct roles within a single film and whose physical and vocal transformations set a standard in comic performance that has never been surpassed. Sellers defined the British comedy film of the late 1950s and 1960s and took that authority into Hollywood productions of international reach. Find original campaign materials for Dr. Strangelove (1964) — Stanley Kubrick's Cold War satire, where Sellers played three distinct roles — and you're working with one of the most famous comedy one-sheets in American cinema: the image of the missile, the hand that seems to want to raise itself in a Nazi salute, and Sellers' face tripled across the promotional materials. British quad posters for Dr. Strangelove present a different graphic solution to the same problem, and first-release examples of both are genuinely sought after. The Pink Panther series — with Sellers as Inspector Clouseau across five films from 1963 to 1978 — generated the most commercially distributed campaign materials in his career: cheerful, broadly illustrated one-sheets with the animated Pink Panther character that have wide collector interest. Lolita (1962) and Being There (1979) represent his more serious dramatic work, each producing campaign materials of a different, more restrained character.
