You kind of have a few movies, 64 00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:55,600 that Peter Sellers probably didn't want you to see. 65 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,300 But, you know, this is the one where he tried to fight back the 66 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:02,700 - From the producers. And again I've heard two stories 67 00:05:02,700 --> 00:05:06,200 are one is that you want to buy back the - to burn it so it can 68 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,900 never be seen. And then another story is that 69 00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:11,400 he may have wanted to buy it back just so he could completely 70 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,200 redo the movie. Oh, really? 71 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:14,800 Well. That would be it. 72 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,600 Well, no. That would be a disaster. 73 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:17,500 I think. Yeah. 74 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,000 It's kind of like, sort of how he redid through Manchu. 75 00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:23,800 I was just thinking that's all I got. 76 00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,800 It's a fascinating period in Cellars career because and we 77 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,300 seem to understand on this podcast cast, we seem to have 78 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:34,100 focused a lot on the sort of what was at the five-year 79 00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:35,100 period. Really. 80 00:05:35,700 --> 00:05:39,700 Hmm from about 1972 to the return of the Pink Panther and 81 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:45,500 75 million five-year period of of very little in the way of 82 00:05:45,700 --> 00:05:48,600 quality 409.

It's interesting that I Under 220 00:13:04,700 --> 00:13:08,800 why it was it was just selected scenes that he, I'm guessing 221 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,400 because the film is quiet. Let's face facts. 222 00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:14,800 It goes at a glacial Pace. I said mmmm, well it's very 223 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,100 again, it's wordy.

You kind of know that you don't 251 00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,500 really get the Sinister. Donald Pleasence that you kind 252 00:15:05,500 --> 00:15:07,900 of expect you don't get dr. Cribben. 253 00:15:08,300 --> 00:15:10,700 You kind of get cul-de-sac Donald? 254 00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:13,600 Let's just going to say it. Reminded me of cul-de-sac the 255 00:15:13,900 --> 00:15:14,800 ski film. Yeah. 256 00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:17,500 Which is Bonkers, isn't it? Yeah. 257 00:15:17,900 --> 00:15:21,000 What kind of it seems to be sort of Donald Pleasence has go to 258 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,800 Comedy styling? Yeah. 259 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,800 Yeah. But you kind of find A lot of 260 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,500 actors that generation iPhone Stewart. 261 00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:30,800 Granger used to do the see him. They, when they played comedy, 262 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,300 you just spent tended to speak very fast, which I think, was 263 00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:36,100 them trying to emulate, Cary Grant's. 264 00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:40,900 But of course, at a natural sort of charm to him, which these 265 00:15:40,900 --> 00:15:44,600 actors did, but not so much, pension for comedy. 266 00:15:45,500 --> 00:15:50,000 So yes, one I know is it started off as a television play which 267 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,200 was also directed by Alvin rakoff written by Ernest Gambler 268 00:15:54,300 --> 00:15:56,600 and won a couple. That me Awards. 269 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,900 And then it was decided to make it into a feature film. 270 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,100 So, I think, Alvin Rockoff rigidly, he wanted just to do 271 00:16:05,100 --> 00:16:08,700 the play all over again with Judy Cornwall, Donald Pleasence 272 00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:11,100 couple of weeks filming naked. Very low budget. 273 00:16:11,100 --> 00:16:14,700 Yeah, but then the producer said, no no no you need you need 274 00:16:14,700 --> 00:16:17,800 a star named for. This is a way bigger projects. 275 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,100 Then you're imagining so that enters Peter Sellers into the 276 00:16:22,100 --> 00:16:25,200 equation because Bryan Forbes. Mmm. 277 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,900 Who is head of associated, British pictures? 278 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,900 Hmm. He and sellers obviously had a 279 00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:33,500 history going back. There were friends and oh, yeah, 280 00:16:33,500 --> 00:16:36,200 well Gary tried to, I tried to swap wives, at one point. 281 00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:38,700 I thought if it was swapping by its, I think he just wanted to 282 00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:43,000 take Brian, I've got one of those are her two stories. 283 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,500 I think one was again, I might be mixing this up with Princess 284 00:16:47,500 --> 00:16:48,700 Margaret. Lord Snowdon. 285 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,500 But that's again, a lot of these stories just end up getting, but 286 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:53,900 I think you're correct color. I think he did. 287 00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:55,800 Just want to take the next Newman. 288 00:16:56,500 --> 00:17:00,100 I know both of the story is that he went to Bryan Forbes one day. 289 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,800 I think it was when there was it around the time of wrong, arm of 290 00:17:03,808 --> 00:17:06,099 the law may be. Some yeah, would have been. 291 00:17:06,099 --> 00:17:08,200 Yeah. And he said and Bryan Forbes, 292 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,400 and he were good friends, and obviously Forbes, was married to 293 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,000 Nanette Newman who was, who was in wrong arm of the law with 294 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,500 Sellers and sellers went up to Bryan Forbes and basically said 295 00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:21,599 something along the lines of the net and I are deeply in love. 296 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:27,500 And you know, I just felt you could want You know, and of 297 00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:30,400 course, there was, there was absolutely no truth in that 298 00:17:30,500 --> 00:17:33,300 again, Bryan Forbes is just again, he's an interesting 299 00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,900 character himself, you know, he starts off as an actor, 300 00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:41,400 appearing in the least bit for me, he'd be quite well known for 301 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,600 the sun in An Inspector Calls. And then, as you said, you know, 302 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,700 graduates into being a writer during the league of gentlemen. 303 00:17:47,700 --> 00:17:51,500 And then graduates into being a director there for king rat, 304 00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:54,900 Stepford Wives, hmm But yeah booty again if we're coming 305 00:17:54,900 --> 00:17:57,300 back. Hoffman at this period. 306 00:17:57,300 --> 00:18:01,200 He's now become almost that again, he becomes the head of 307 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,600 associate. British pictures coming to the 308 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,000 tail end of the 60s. And from one eye, from what I 309 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000 understand, this was his appointment, was an attempt to 310 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,100 kind of see if the British film industry. 311 00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:16,800 Because though, Again by this point, the American money slowly 312 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:21,400 disappearing and the idea at the time, was to kind of create a 313 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,100 conveyor belt of films. I think they're known as the 314 00:18:24,100 --> 00:18:29,000 Forbes 12 L've including the go-between with Joseph blow. 315 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,200 See the man who hunted himself starting Roger Moore right. 316 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,600 Yep. So yeah. 317 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,400 So again again oh what was the railway children? 318 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,300 One of those? Yes, rare weeks old was one of 319 00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:40,500 them dropped by Lionel Jeffries him film. 320 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:45,700 Yeah, Tales of Beatrix Potter is in there as well and raging Moon 321 00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,100 which folds the Forbes directed himself. 322 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,700 So yeah, it was this last, it was kind of seen as this 323 00:18:51,700 --> 00:18:55,800 last-ditch attempt to basically bolster the British film 324 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,800 industry. When at this time of starting to 325 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,000 flag, merely because the Americans had called all their 326 00:19:00,008 --> 00:19:02,500 money likes. I guess that's partly why. 327 00:19:02,500 --> 00:19:07,300 The 70s is the British film industry in the 70s is seen now, 328 00:19:07,300 --> 00:19:12,700 looking back as being this just a Spate of sex comedies and 329 00:19:13,100 --> 00:19:16,300 really low budget, kind of news and really isn't it, which I 330 00:19:16,300 --> 00:19:19,000 think is unfair, there's some great British films in the 70s. 331 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,400 Well, there's some crap, you know, they get Get Carter. 332 00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:29,600 Yes, the go-between Women love the devil's, the others amazing, 333 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,200 British movies being made around this time, but again it's the 334 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,300 same time, you know, 1971 your biggest box-office hit is on the 335 00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:40,000 buses. Yes, indeed I know it was it a 336 00:19:40,008 --> 00:19:42,500 Adventures of a taxi driver makes more money than Taxi 337 00:19:42,500 --> 00:19:44,100 Driver? The UK peasant. 338 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:50,100 That's wonderful. I really remember that God 339 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:54,700 wasn't Robert Lindsay and that or yes yes yes yes he's in the 340 00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:58,700 first one. Yes, I guess he is, and I think 341 00:19:58,700 --> 00:20:01,200 a lot lately page appears in one of the other ones, and then 342 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:08,300 denied, she was in it for years and years, so, okay, so so Bryan 343 00:20:08,300 --> 00:20:10,400 Forbes. We assume that Bryan Forbes 344 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:15,000 suggested sellers for this film. I must again, I would assume 345 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,500 that was the case, but I've never seen Brian for as in 346 00:20:18,500 --> 00:20:20,400 separate and for spreading sellers forward for it. 347 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,300 But again, they would have had a previous relationship. 348 00:20:22,300 --> 00:20:25,100 So, that would have certainly helped sellers paycheck. 349 00:20:25,300 --> 00:20:28,500 I said gone down by this point, I mean, from a million dollars, 350 00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:30,600 you could get them for 300,000 times 9. 351 00:20:30,900 --> 00:20:35,100 Yeah. Okay as everyone knows now in 352 00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:38,300 early 69 sellers was filming the magic Christian. 353 00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:42,000 Mmm. So I'm not quite sure I'm 354 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,900 guessing this. I didn't actually check but I'm 355 00:20:43,900 --> 00:20:47,300 assuming that this was the next film, I think that's correct. 356 00:20:47,300 --> 00:20:52,700 Yes, yeah, and it's quite it's, it's, it's an odd choice for 357 00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:55,100 sellers to Jamie. Sellers had a history. 358 00:20:55,300 --> 00:20:57,400 Had a history of choosing. It is the very odd. 359 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,700 It's a very odd choice, but then, as open Rocco says, he 360 00:21:00,700 --> 00:21:03,900 doesn't think sellers, really read the script, right? 361 00:21:03,900 --> 00:21:06,000 Yeah, yeah. I got it in one of the 362 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,300 interviews he kind of points out. 363 00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:12,000 That album rock is like Canadian director, you know, starts off 364 00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:14,700 in British television. You know directed, the original 365 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:18,800 Call Me Daddy, also did Requiem for a heavyweight. 366 00:21:19,100 --> 00:21:22,100 The UK version was Sean Connery. Yeah, I've seen the American 367 00:21:22,100 --> 00:21:24,000 Connery. I've seen the American original 368 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,500 of that, the TV, Oh yes, Jack Jack Palance yeah, yeah. 369 00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:31,100 I'd love to see the shortcut because Michael Caine's in as 370 00:21:31,100 --> 00:21:33,500 well, isn't he? Yeah, Michael Caine's in is well 371 00:21:33,500 --> 00:21:37,000 and what forgotten her knee and but Barbara from dr. 372 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,900 Who won the first companions? Who was married to 0 Jaclyn 373 00:21:40,900 --> 00:21:42,000 Hill. Yes! 374 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,100 Jaclyn Hill. Yeah, she's in there as well. 375 00:21:44,900 --> 00:21:48,300 Yeah, wreck of says, on the directors, commentary on the, on 376 00:21:48,300 --> 00:21:52,700 the Blu-ray that, but after it initial hostility from sellers, 377 00:21:52,700 --> 00:21:55,200 towards wreck off, they see me firm friends. 378 00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:59,300 And sellers met his family and spent time with his family and 379 00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:03,800 seem to get on very well with Jacqueline, so, mmm, until until 380 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,600 he saw the film. And then apparently cut off all 381 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,500 time. Yeah, I'm trying to get him 382 00:22:10,500 --> 00:22:14,800 fired from the film. By I think it's apparently they 383 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:19,200 I was album, Rock off and the producer been our beds were 384 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,100 heading to a meeting with sellers but it then turned out 385 00:22:23,100 --> 00:22:25,100 Ernest Gambler got to the meeting, half an hour before. 386 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,300 For and was convincing sellers that rack of didn't know what he 387 00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:31,900 was doing and he should hire Gibbler to direct the film 388 00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:33,300 himself. Hmm. 389 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,800 I mean, the thing is, right? I like the way because wreck off 390 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,000 says that he based there was, like a standoff, wasn't there. 391 00:22:43,100 --> 00:22:47,600 Mmm. And and rakoff had the upper 392 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,600 hand, and essentially was able to banish Gibbler from the set 393 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,800 permanently. As a result of what he saw is a 394 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,300 backstabbing really, he's bows. I mean giblet. 395 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,500 I love the fact, so he wrote the, the tally play called me 396 00:23:05,500 --> 00:23:07,300 Daddy. He wrote the Italian play. 397 00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:08,800 Wrote, the screenplay for this. Yeah. 398 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,900 But he also wrote a novel, didn't he? 399 00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:13,100 He did. He wrote, he wrote a novel, but 400 00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:17,000 he gave it a different title. Mmm, my little is, can I eat? 401 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,100 You know. Yeah, it's And then and then 402 00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,200 again again it's one of these things is a project that you 403 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,800 never seem to let go of because then he staged it in Dublin 404 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,800 twice under the original title. Call me Daddy. 405 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:33,900 Yeah. And it's not, it's an 406 00:23:33,900 --> 00:23:35,700 interesting. I mean, I enjoyed the film, I do 407 00:23:35,700 --> 00:23:37,500 enjoy the film. It's never going to be in my top 408 00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:43,200 ten or even top 20, but I don't know, but it's curiosity piqued, 409 00:23:43,300 --> 00:23:46,600 my curiosity place, but it's a slight film, it's done, it's 410 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,100 not. I'm going to go through it 411 00:23:48,100 --> 00:23:51,200 obviously, but it's not. He Am too. 412 00:23:51,300 --> 00:23:53,200 I suppose, I suppose owners giblet. 413 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,800 This was the, the most success he had in his career. 414 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,000 Did, he was this the the one project that was most successful 415 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,500 for him? Oh yeah, many ways I think. 416 00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:06,200 So again, Ernest Gambler, interesting, character, I 417 00:24:06,208 --> 00:24:08,300 actually spoke to his son, a couple of years ago. 418 00:24:08,300 --> 00:24:13,700 Carlos Gambler Who provided me with the original script for the 419 00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:16,700 stage version took place in Dublin. 420 00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:20,700 Hmm, and interestingly, when we were just chatting on the phone, 421 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,100 One of the few times we did. He did say that Peter Sellers 422 00:24:25,100 --> 00:24:28,300 had turned to his father and said, oh, by the way, I'm 423 00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:31,900 playing you. I'm playing you in this film the 424 00:24:31,900 --> 00:24:34,600 K. I'd be insulted by that. 425 00:24:34,700 --> 00:24:38,600 Yeah, so I think it says a lot of bonus kept. 426 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,400 Yeah. Okay, so yeah, it seems to be 427 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,600 the main thing. He again, the other thing on the 428 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,000 schedule, be known for what he is. 429 00:24:46,700 --> 00:24:50,400 The ex-husband of Edna O'Brien. Now, the Irish writer really 430 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,700 Yes, you that? Which it is. 431 00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:55,900 So, Carlos is the son of and Ernest. 432 00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:56,900 Yeah. Okay. 433 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,800 Okay. Alright. 434 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,900 And you said before yeah rack off. 435 00:25:02,500 --> 00:25:04,400 Repeatedly says, you know, political correct. 436 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,600 It was Politically Incorrect this. 437 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,900 Yeah, he says he says that you couldn't make it. 438 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,500 Yeah, you couldn't make it today now. 439 00:25:15,500 --> 00:25:16,900 I don't know. I think you probably could make 440 00:25:16,900 --> 00:25:19,500 it today. It just might be very dark would 441 00:25:19,500 --> 00:25:20,300 be. It would be. 442 00:25:20,300 --> 00:25:25,400 It would be Extremely dark. And again, if you know I've got, 443 00:25:25,500 --> 00:25:28,200 I've got the copy the script and I've kind of always sort of 444 00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:31,300 played a round of it. You know, turned yet again, you 445 00:25:31,300 --> 00:25:33,700 could restage it, changing gender. 446 00:25:33,700 --> 00:25:37,100 And so forth, or even sort of adding a roleplay element to it, 447 00:25:37,500 --> 00:25:41,100 in terms of the characters because it's is just a 448 00:25:41,100 --> 00:25:45,100 fascinating story. And again, when you kind of look 449 00:25:45,100 --> 00:25:48,600 at it, there are so many interpretations of it. 450 00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:52,600 We have you ever read? And I'm assuming you most likely 451 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,500 have at the life and death of Peter Sellers by Roger Lewis. 452 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,700 Absolutely. Yeah. 453 00:25:56,900 --> 00:26:00,600 Well, which by the way, which by the way the the, you know, the 454 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,400 very striking front cover. Yes. 455 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:04,800 Yes. On the on the paperback. 456 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,600 Yeah. With with him looking quite 457 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,500 drawn and yeah, you're drawn out and forlorn and he's like it. 458 00:26:11,700 --> 00:26:16,300 Yeah, that photo was taken during the filming of Hoffman. 459 00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:18,000 Yeah it is. I think he's got the strategies, 460 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,100 got the script in his hand. If I The full. 461 00:26:21,100 --> 00:26:24,000 And I'm not sure if that you see that on the book cover but I 462 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,300 think the full image. Yeah. 463 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,000 Is him with scripting hands? Yeah. 464 00:26:28,500 --> 00:26:30,600 Because you quite rightly said looking very full lawn and 465 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:36,600 deflate you were afraid to go with me because of my Maniac 466 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,100 face. Yes, yes, girls, all over the 467 00:26:41,100 --> 00:26:46,100 world are afraid of men. Is my expression expression. 468 00:26:47,300 --> 00:26:51,800 Praying sad-faced men. You look at us all of you and 469 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,400 you're right. Every Miss Smith everywhere. 470 00:26:56,500 --> 00:27:00,800 Swarms of mature sexually Stars men? 471 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:13,000 With their thoughts. Breast bottoms and thighs in 472 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:23,000 offices buses and Trends, man. You've missed the boat but you 473 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:28,700 still need love. Well, Miss Smith. 474 00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:35,900 Their day is coming. A revolution is almost upon you. 475 00:27:37,500 --> 00:27:39,800 Just you. Wait just you wait. 476 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,400 Hope never dies in a man, the good dirty mind. 477 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,200 So I had seen Hoffman 30 years ago. 478 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,700 It was on TV, a taped it and I want must have watched it. 479 00:27:52,700 --> 00:27:56,500 The once, maybe twice, and pretty much erased it from my 480 00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,400 mind, subsequently. And then the Blu-ray came out 481 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,200 last year and I bought it, and I watched it and it's pretty much 482 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,400 a to hand. It really that this there's four 483 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,600 people in the In the, you know, credited, the beginning for 484 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,000 actors but really, there's only two, isn't it? 485 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Yeah. It's only Sinéad Cusack and 486 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,100 Peter Sellers. Yeah. 487 00:28:16,100 --> 00:28:19,500 It is very much, I guess interesting. 488 00:28:19,500 --> 00:28:21,500 It is very much like a play the game. 489 00:28:21,500 --> 00:28:25,600 It's very much like a television play, which is interesting since 490 00:28:25,900 --> 00:28:29,200 Alvin rakoff. Just prior to Hoffman, I got 491 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,700 fired from the anniversary with Betty dear bus because he was 492 00:28:34,700 --> 00:28:38,500 directing it like a TV play. He was like, putting markers 493 00:28:38,500 --> 00:28:40,500 down on the sets and she was like, no, no, no. 494 00:28:40,500 --> 00:28:43,100 This is not high. There's not how film actors 495 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,300 perform as we got fired from a film and replaced by Roy, Ward 496 00:28:47,300 --> 00:28:50,000 Baker. So it's interesting that sort of 497 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,500 beef being fired from a project just prior to Hoffman for you 498 00:28:54,508 --> 00:28:57,700 know staging it far too much like a player television play. 499 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,400 And then the next project is this film that, you know, is 500 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,500 very much like a play. Yeah, hmm. 501 00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,000 You think of I really do enjoy films that are adaptations. 502 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,300 Is of plays and which retain that staging us about them and 503 00:29:11,300 --> 00:29:14,400 I'm thinking specifically, and of course, it was a TV playing 504 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,400 itself. 12 Angry Men, the film version of 12. 505 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,900 Yes, yes, I love that film as one of my all-time favorites, 506 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,200 the Rope the Hitchcock film which yes, which was a play. 507 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,100 And that's pretty much one room. And of course, the conceit of 508 00:29:28,100 --> 00:29:31,100 rope is that it's all done in one long, continuous, take, 509 00:29:31,100 --> 00:29:34,000 which it isn't, but it but it gives the, it gives the 510 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,600 impression or tries to give. Oh yeah, just goes, goes past 511 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,500 the door. It cuts and so for again you 512 00:29:38,500 --> 00:29:41,600 only get a bite I think is 10 minutes at little 10 minutes. 513 00:29:41,900 --> 00:29:45,900 But there's a, there's a particular scene in this film 514 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,900 which is a really long single take. 515 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,100 Mmm, which I thought was really interesting. 516 00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:56,300 But before we go into that, for anyone who hasn't watched this 517 00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:58,300 film, which I guess is probably most people listen to this. 518 00:29:59,300 --> 00:30:03,100 How would you could you summarize it without spoilers 519 00:30:03,500 --> 00:30:08,000 in, you know, a pithy two or three sentences do And if these 520 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,400 two or three sentences, a businessman block Meals, one of 521 00:30:12,408 --> 00:30:15,000 the secretaries that is offers to spend the weekend with him 522 00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:19,800 before she gets married. It's about it really mean that 523 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,100 mean that, that is it I mean, it's a two-hour film. 524 00:30:22,100 --> 00:30:27,200 But in reality in terms of a blurb that is that that is, that 525 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:30,000 is a, you know, he's just a weekend with your boss. 526 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,400 Yeah, so I wasn't, I wasn't sure. 527 00:30:34,500 --> 00:30:39,500 I got the impression and it's this film reminded Ami in part 528 00:30:40,100 --> 00:30:44,500 if you ever seen The Collector the yes, Terrence downturn stem. 529 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,700 It partly reminded me of that film you know where Terence 530 00:30:48,700 --> 00:30:52,400 Stamp is this nonentity that works. 531 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,500 He's kind of is even is even middle management in this office 532 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,200 and everyone? Yeah, no one really kills him 533 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,700 and makes fun of him. And he's he's got no real 534 00:31:01,700 --> 00:31:04,400 personality and he looks miserable and then he wins the 535 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:10,200 pools and he comes into my And he essentially what he does 536 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,900 kidnap this woman that he's taken a fancy to and holds her 537 00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:17,300 in a an old country house out in the sticks. 538 00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:22,100 Mmm. And this film reminded me of 539 00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:25,100 that you have this man who seems to have Limitless wealth. 540 00:31:25,100 --> 00:31:26,600 I don't know where the wealth has come from. 541 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,800 Yeah, yeah. And he and I my impression was 542 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,800 that he wasn't necessarily the boss of the firm that he was 543 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,700 more middle management. But I guess he's actually the 544 00:31:39,700 --> 00:31:43,100 boss of. Yeah, I guess Smith who's played 545 00:31:43,100 --> 00:31:46,000 by Sheikh. He's probably not the boss of 546 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,800 the company but he's on. These are ahead of her in the 547 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,200 company. Yeah, yeah. 548 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,400 So where's the money come from again? 549 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,600 I you guys you said like, who knows? 550 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,600 Again, the end up at Harrods of one point. 551 00:32:00,500 --> 00:32:02,200 Hmm, I suppose it doesn't matter. 552 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,500 It's just, it's just not bothered me, but I kept thinking 553 00:32:06,500 --> 00:32:09,200 he's got his He's a man of independent means here. 554 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:12,900 He's got a nice flat. Yeah I guess it's kind of I 555 00:32:12,900 --> 00:32:16,000 think that's sort of the old film and television trobe you 556 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,400 know, you watch friends. And you kind of wonder how 557 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,300 Monica Monica and Rachel can afford the apartment in New 558 00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:23,500 York. Yeah, true true. 559 00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:26,800 True. Should a Cusack is brilliant in 560 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,700 this. She's absolutely astonishing in 561 00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:36,900 this and she's absolutely. I totally buy her perilous. 562 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:42,500 Situation and her, you know, she's racked with anxiety, which 563 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:48,100 then turns to hatred, I guess. And then, um, and then contempt 564 00:32:48,100 --> 00:32:52,700 and then, well, we'll get to that, but but she's absolutely 565 00:32:52,700 --> 00:32:55,400 perfect for this role. And I think, yeah, one of her 566 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,100 first, I think may have been her first film role, or one of her 567 00:32:59,100 --> 00:33:00,900 first film rules. Yeah. 568 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,500 Yeah, the film begins. She's we see it being seen off 569 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,500 at the train station by Because you presume it's her boyfriend 570 00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:13,800 or fiancé. Yeah, well fiance made by Jeremy 571 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,500 Bulloch, who people may know his ball defense. 572 00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:22,400 Well, I don't I've heard the name that's about it. 573 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:26,100 I'm a complete Star Wars. Ignoramus God. 574 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,500 Jeremy Bulloch is the actor who plays for perfect in. 575 00:33:31,300 --> 00:33:33,700 Install was filmed here and the original original Star Wars 576 00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,500 groans. Yeah, you see if you'd asked me 577 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,100 if you'd show me a picture of him, or I'd seen, you know, 578 00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:40,600 because I'm watching it and I said, oh, I recognize him. 579 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,400 I know where I know him from he's, um, he's from the sitcom 580 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:50,300 Agony, the latest. Which, which was his role in 581 00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:52,300 agony was groundbreaking. Actually, I don't know if you 582 00:33:52,300 --> 00:33:55,000 remember Agony or you ever heard of Agony because Maureen? 583 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,100 I've heard never seen a Canadian Maureen. 584 00:33:57,100 --> 00:34:00,100 Lipman sitcom, which I really enjoyed when I was a kid. 585 00:34:00,300 --> 00:34:02,700 Well, there was a little bit adult, really think he back as I 586 00:34:02,708 --> 00:34:04,500 have seen. It's an episode of IT 587 00:34:04,500 --> 00:34:08,300 subsequently, but it was groundbreaking in that it 588 00:34:08,300 --> 00:34:15,300 featured, two gay characters, who were who were together and 589 00:34:15,300 --> 00:34:18,300 they were just normal. They were not, they were not 590 00:34:18,300 --> 00:34:21,600 caricatures, they were not dare, I say screaming queens or 591 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,199 anything like that. It was, they were, you know, 592 00:34:24,199 --> 00:34:27,600 they were plate, played very sympathetically and it is, it 593 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,199 was seen as being quite revolutionary I suppose. 594 00:34:30,300 --> 00:34:33,300 It does a British that guns for that for that sort of portrayal 595 00:34:33,300 --> 00:34:37,900 and he was one of the two and and also and also he turns up 596 00:34:37,900 --> 00:34:42,600 in, what am I again? Film I absolutely love, I'm sure 597 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:49,400 you've seen it lucky man. Oh yeah I know I've seen if 598 00:34:49,500 --> 00:34:51,900 return your hospital but I've never caught a lucky man. 599 00:34:52,100 --> 00:34:56,300 All right okay he turns up and no lucky man in a very 600 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:01,400 memorable. Seen, I think, I think I've seen 601 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:04,500 the scene in question, which I just don't want to spoil the 602 00:35:04,500 --> 00:35:08,500 fun. Anyway, we're moving up, but we 603 00:35:08,500 --> 00:35:10,600 see, we see Jeremy Bulloch at the train station. 604 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,400 Seeing of his fiancee Janet played by Sinead O'Connor said, 605 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:25,100 a clean slate and we don't see him again for another nearly 606 00:35:25,300 --> 00:35:25,900 nearly.

We can see a through the train 610 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,300 window and she's looking, she's looking very uneasy and then 611 00:35:41,300 --> 00:35:45,000 she's sort of gets off the other side of the train. 612 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,200 And hmm, if you watch that movie, you weren't told anything 613 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,100 before. And that just that little 614 00:35:50,100 --> 00:35:54,200 opening sequence with Jeremy Bulloch and Sinéad Cusack. 615 00:35:54,500 --> 00:35:57,300 You would never know where was going to lead. 616 00:35:57,900 --> 00:36:01,100 You know it's just too too young people going to the train 617 00:36:01,100 --> 00:36:03,500 station and then you just have that little bit ago. 618 00:36:03,500 --> 00:36:08,500 Just shows you how great you may choose acts performance is you 619 00:36:08,500 --> 00:36:12,000 know, no words.

Yeah. 622 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,700 So she leaves the station. Gets a cab and we have the 623 00:36:20,700 --> 00:36:26,600 opening credits and she arrives at this very nice-looking 624 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,900 apartment building Suppose that's and mmmm. 625 00:36:29,900 --> 00:36:34,400 She goes up.

Mmm doubting himself. 643 00:37:50,700 --> 00:37:54,500 And I think the characters fair to say is full of self-loathing 644 00:37:54,500 --> 00:37:57,000 anyway. So yeah, you can't imagine the 645 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,500 things that have been going on in his head while he's been 646 00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:00,700 wearing it earlier.

Not like you want to be 724 00:43:05,500 --> 00:43:09,500 fertilized. So parallel. 725 00:43:09,500 --> 00:43:11,100 Yeah. So apparently Let's date comes 726 00:43:11,100 --> 00:43:15,700 to the come to the table with some form of Teutonic, German 727 00:43:15,700 --> 00:43:19,700 accent. Richie was dissuaded from from 728 00:43:19,700 --> 00:43:22,100 doing. I mean, it might have been a 729 00:43:22,107 --> 00:43:24,300 better film. It's not a bad film as it is, 730 00:43:24,300 --> 00:43:25,800 but it might have been even better with that. 731 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,600 I don't know, maybe that's the Virgin who's going to make 732 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:34,100 after. They think she cheated one 733 00:43:34,100 --> 00:43:38,400 point, she sort of manages to. Well, she decides that she's 734 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:42,400 just going to leg it from the from the flat at one point, and 735 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,500 he calls after who basically just Says, you know you if you 736 00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:49,900 go out that door, you know, what will happen and she yeah with a 737 00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:54,500 with a heavy heart, she she makes her way back up to the 738 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,500 flat and we get the scene in the bedroom with this really long 739 00:43:59,500 --> 00:44:02,900 take that I mentioned earlier. Mmm, and interesting. 740 00:44:02,900 --> 00:44:06,200 Watching it second time around when she sees this bed. 741 00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,400 And she says, is this the only bed and he says it's the only 742 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,000 bed in use. Yes. 743 00:44:12,700 --> 00:44:17,000 And, and I thought about that, and of course, The only other 744 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,400 bed she doesn't know about. Does she did the only other bed 745 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,100 in the flat? She doesn't let this point know 746 00:44:22,100 --> 00:44:25,700 about, which is no, no, no. Yo, she finds that out later on, 747 00:44:25,700 --> 00:44:28,400 in the film. That there is a, there is a mrs. 748 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,700 Hoffman, although Wars and mrs. Hoffman, yeah. 749 00:44:30,700 --> 00:44:33,500 That's intriguing that hole. Hmm, I got ya. 750 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,100 Probably get onto that bit later on but yeah, you're again the 751 00:44:37,100 --> 00:44:40,800 mysterious mrs. Hoffman, almost a bit like mrs. 752 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:45,100 Mannering. Yes, she confirms to huh. 753 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,300 I've been that she told Tom that she was going to see her granny. 754 00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:50,900 Who'd had a full granny, granny and Scarborough scarf. 755 00:44:51,300 --> 00:44:54,000 Yeah. And parents are dead. 756 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:55,800 So it was a grandmother water up. 757 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,600 So that she's very close to her. And she's told the girls with 758 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,400 whom she shares a flat that she told them the same story. 759 00:45:02,700 --> 00:45:06,800 So he nobody knows that she's still in London and certainly 760 00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,600 they don't know that, she's at happens. 761 00:45:08,900 --> 00:45:11,600 To me, that's another moment of why should a cue? 762 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:17,100 Zach is so good in this film? Yeah, is that A realization that 763 00:45:17,100 --> 00:45:21,200 she realizes that she said it out loud to expect basis because 764 00:45:21,300 --> 00:45:24,200 to make sure to tell him all. I've covered my tracks, don't 765 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,800 worry, nobody knows I'm here. But then the moment when she 766 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,700 says that line, that no one knows, I'm here. 767 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,200 The look on her face is just. Yeah. 768 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,200 Oh, and we are going to spoil this film. 769 00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:40,300 If you've never seen this film before, and you're watching up 770 00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:44,300 to this point, and from what you've seen so far, you could be 771 00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:48,300 forgiven for thinking Taking that Hoffman is a serial killer 772 00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:49,200 or a killer. Mmm. 773 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,300 Oh he's all right. I mean, Roger Lewis, greedy 774 00:45:52,300 --> 00:45:59,100 implies that he's a vampire in terms of that opening. 775 00:45:59,100 --> 00:46:02,100 I would kind of agree. There is this slight sort of, 776 00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:06,700 you know, slight Bela Lugosi Christopher Lee element of when 777 00:46:06,700 --> 00:46:09,200 she enters you'll come in Miss Smith and all that. 778 00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:13,900 So yeah, sort of serial killer and then Roger Lewis is vampire 779 00:46:13,900 --> 00:46:16,000 again, that sort of drained. Look as well. 780 00:46:16,100 --> 00:46:20,200 Yeah, he's always speaking in these epigrams which clearly he 781 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,900 thinks a very clever. Yeah. 782 00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:26,000 Yeah again as you said you know you've got the 80s and very 783 00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,300 quotable film some of the things he says. 784 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,500 Yeah some of them are funny and some of them sound like they 785 00:46:33,500 --> 00:46:35,800 should be funny but they're not really it's not that you his 786 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:40,000 cruel. It's not that youth is mine. 787 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:46,600 This. it's just simply that youth is wasted on the young. 788 00:46:47,900 --> 00:46:53,800 They have no idea how to use it. If a woman's biological urges 789 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:58,600 can make her wear her skirt up to her crutch, but can they not 790 00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:02,000 do beg, your pardon idiot? Girls standing around at bus 791 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,400 stops. Freezing, thighs, bladder, 792 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:08,000 trouble spinning World. Women are always hungry for 793 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,900 something. Fallopian tubes with teeth. 794 00:47:13,300 --> 00:47:14,400 Oh, no coward. He ain't. 795 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:21,600 But, and she's surprised because he's such a different man from 796 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:25,300 the man, she knows from work, which is, which is interesting, 797 00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:31,200 because she kind of describes that again, you get this 798 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:35,900 impression than he is, just a bit of a bit of a, nobody in the 799 00:47:35,900 --> 00:47:40,900 office, which is, which is what made me think of The Collector. 800 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:42,800 Exactly. Yeah. 801 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,900 It's just a bit of a nobody in the office. 802 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,400 Yeah, which is kind of, a sort of wonder what she maybe thought 803 00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,000 he was because he can't. He does kind of come across as 804 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,300 the nobody in the office. Yeah, sort of blending. 805 00:47:56,300 --> 00:47:58,500 Again, it's one of those performances that, you know, 806 00:47:58,500 --> 00:48:01,700 almost sort of terms of his look not in terms of his eye, but 807 00:48:01,700 --> 00:48:03,200 does it look? You saw you blend into the 808 00:48:03,207 --> 00:48:05,900 wallpaper? Well, he describes himself as 809 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,500 being one of those planes sad-faced men. 810 00:48:08,500 --> 00:48:18,500 Yeah. He says, yeah and then he says, 811 00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:23,800 he made me laugh out loud because I mean, it's quite sad, 812 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:29,600 but she hits upon about a possible motive as to as to why 813 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,200 he's putting it through this hell. 814 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:36,200 Okay, she thinks he wants to get back at her for the time. 815 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,700 You'll fall for the notes that are no. 816 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,300 Yeah he wrote her a note. A year ago, inviting her to a 817 00:48:41,300 --> 00:48:44,800 play. And she told all the other girls 818 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,600 about it and he was humiliated and she says this to him, and he 819 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,000 shouted, something, he shouts something along the lines of 820 00:48:52,300 --> 00:48:55,300 you're afraid to go out with me because of my Maniac face. 821 00:48:55,700 --> 00:49:08,900 Yeah, that's the thing I wrote down as well because as winner 822 00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:12,100 in the bedroom and all this sort of creepy things. 823 00:49:12,300 --> 00:49:16,200 He's saying he's clearly a misogynist e and I wrote down 824 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:21,200 and early insult or in cell, you know, men that just can't get 825 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:25,600 laid. I just yeah, I I saw him as a 826 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:28,100 pioneer of that movement because those YouTube should have been, 827 00:49:28,100 --> 00:49:29,700 this should have been the tagline for this show. 828 00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:39,800 Only inside. You go to the cinema to watch 829 00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:41,900 this film with Peter Sellers, as in it, you're going to expect a 830 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,500 And it's not a comedy. Yeah. 831 00:49:46,900 --> 00:49:50,500 When it does this little comedic moments, little comedic moments. 832 00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:54,800 Yeah, but you'd be disappointed if you went, if it was someone 833 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,800 out, if it was only that and actor in the leading role who 834 00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,000 was known for dramatic and he's a whole different ball game but 835 00:50:02,300 --> 00:50:06,400 yeah, I'm sure that's how you probably felt when you first saw 836 00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:07,400 it. You'd probably expect. 837 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,600 Yeah, it's big boffo laughs and it wasn't exactly what 838 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,900 particularly when you've again with Fox started. 839 00:50:12,900 --> 00:50:16,300 You put it with what are these quite gentle 1950s British 840 00:50:16,300 --> 00:50:18,400 property. Yes, yeah. 841 00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,600 And then you have this film which is the you know the dying 842 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:25,500 Ember of 1910 Turing into the sort of Darker period of British 843 00:50:25,500 --> 00:50:30,500 Cinema. Yeah, we get the same with it. 844 00:50:30,500 --> 00:50:32,500 He takes her to a restaurant. Mmm. 845 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,200 And she slept with fellows had the all the tablecloths changed 846 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:39,900 because they were originally purple, purple here, and she 847 00:50:39,900 --> 00:50:42,600 doesn't take to anything on the menu and this is where I He's a 848 00:50:42,900 --> 00:50:44,300 this is I think this is an ad lib. 849 00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:48,500 He says maybe you prefer some boiled cat it or you don't it 850 00:50:48,500 --> 00:50:51,600 has that great moment as well. When he says it says to her it's 851 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,400 all the details of the waiter. It is off. 852 00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,600 Yes. And then he says, they have Dave 853 00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,300 snails in the menu and she pulls a face. 854 00:50:59,300 --> 00:51:01,400 And he says, I remember when my father first introduced me to 855 00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:06,700 snails mlo snails how are you? And understand how say we're 856 00:51:06,700 --> 00:51:10,900 about to be eaten salute? You I'd love to think that cell 857 00:51:10,900 --> 00:51:14,100 is just improvised that but it's probably in the script. 858 00:51:14,500 --> 00:51:17,800 Yeah. Well actually I don't just as a 859 00:51:17,808 --> 00:51:22,100 sideline, I think Sinéad Cusack and sellers started a 860 00:51:22,107 --> 00:51:24,100 relationship while on this movie. 861 00:51:24,100 --> 00:51:26,500 Yes, he did. Apparently, there were about to 862 00:51:26,500 --> 00:51:29,500 go out on a date and she was just the story. 863 00:51:29,500 --> 00:51:33,400 I was told, was that though they were about to go out on a date. 864 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,900 She was waiting whenever she was waiting, and as she was waiting 865 00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:40,200 for him, a helicopter appeared sand with sellers in it, and 866 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,900 they flew off to Paris for the weekend. 867 00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:49,200 No, other time. I think he was doing was quoting 868 00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,600 Miranda. Miranda Quarry at the time. 869 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:55,100 Yeah, yeah. How long was the Sinéad Cusack 870 00:51:55,100 --> 00:51:57,900 sellers relationship? Do you know I am from? 871 00:51:57,900 --> 00:52:00,500 I think it was just the film, right? 872 00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:05,000 Okay. We we get back to the flat and 873 00:52:06,700 --> 00:52:09,200 when she's had too much coffee, she's a too much coffee. 874 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,300 She said she's got heartburn. And he rather irritably goes and 875 00:52:14,300 --> 00:52:16,200 fetches. I think some milk and pours it 876 00:52:16,207 --> 00:52:18,800 into a brandy. Yes. 877 00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:22,900 He's got a Dictaphone, into which he's recording some night 878 00:52:22,900 --> 00:52:26,000 thoughts, which had just misogynistic sort of stream of 879 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:32,400 Consciousness and his end and then the, the sort of the rug 880 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:37,200 being pulled, he gets into bed, she's in bed, she's absolutely 881 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:40,600 bricking it. He sets the alarm for 6:00 a.m. 882 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,800 The he's taken some sleeping pills and he says, when he 883 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,400 awakes at 6 a.m. bright and early, she'll be sleeping, 884 00:52:48,500 --> 00:52:52,000 sweet, lie beside him and then he'll be ready to go. 885 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000 I suppose that's the implication. 886 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,700 He turns off the light and settles down to sleep. 887 00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:58,900 Yeah. And they're wide awake. 888 00:52:59,300 --> 00:53:01,900 The way sellers does. That is I think for me it's 889 00:53:01,900 --> 00:53:05,600 really common, right? Take that. 890 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:09,300 And then even the way he sort of like it goes to sleep, just kind 891 00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:12,700 of jumps jumps in the bed and just It goes over. 892 00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:15,100 Yeah. Again I think again I think that 893 00:53:15,100 --> 00:53:17,000 must be another little bit of comic business. 894 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:21,000 He's kind of thrown in there. Yeah, she gets up in the night 895 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:23,300 because she can't sleep because of all this coffee and she puts 896 00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:29,000 her coat and clothes on and bear a on and dude and she can't get 897 00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,500 out because the doors double-locked, he wakes up but 898 00:53:31,500 --> 00:53:35,400 he's not really awake and he's sort of Blair Ali says the name 899 00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,100 Barbara. Hmm. 900 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,200 Goes for a way very very loud way. 901 00:53:40,300 --> 00:53:42,800 Okay yeah. Again, another little sort of 902 00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:52,400 comic me like I'm sleepwalking before I must have very good 903 00:53:52,400 --> 00:54:05,500 aim. But you wonder who Barbara is 904 00:54:05,500 --> 00:54:10,100 and that further further Stokes your suspicions that maybe, you 905 00:54:10,100 --> 00:54:12,900 know, he's killed someone. Yeah, he's done. 906 00:54:12,900 --> 00:54:17,400 He's done this before. Yeah, she just decides to get 907 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:21,600 into bed, fully clothed fully clothed and, and he wakes up the 908 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:26,200 next morning and is, he works out. 909 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,300 What's happened, doesn't need the next morning and oh, yeah. 910 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,900 And in what is the fact? Because if you have that, Run, 911 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,000 that is the fantasy idea because he wakes up. 912 00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:40,400 Well, when I wake up you, there you will be in my bed out, of 913 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,900 course, turns around.

So we said I think it's a Friday 917 00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,100 evening that she arrives in his flat. 918 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:56,600 These are the next days Saturday obviously. 919 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,400 So do they do they go for a bracing? 920 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,200 Walk along.

Yeah, I mean, I kind of remember 925 00:55:15,700 --> 00:55:18,600 where I've heard him do that before, but that that quack 926 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:22,400 quack, the way he does it, I've heard and do that somewhere 927 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,700 else. I can't remember where, but it's 928 00:55:24,700 --> 00:55:27,200 a very again, always find the sellers. 929 00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,100 There's always little noises that he makes that are very 930 00:55:31,300 --> 00:55:37,000 similar in all his Bees like is that all sort of sound and it's 931 00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:39,000 always amazed me. Regardless of the car again 932 00:55:39,100 --> 00:55:42,300 sellers was this could inhabit these characters but he always 933 00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:45,700 had these little you always handle one or two Little Tex and 934 00:55:45,700 --> 00:55:48,200 I always felt like that little moment was a little sellers. 935 00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,200 Take a satire cell has a seller's noise again. 936 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,500 Yeah, radio performer.

That's a little sellers moment 940 00:55:59,900 --> 00:56:02,400 that it's not a comic moment. It's a seller's noise. 941 00:56:02,500 --> 00:56:04,700 Sighs. Absolutely been sellers appeared 942 00:56:04,700 --> 00:56:07,000 in some lousy movies and this isn't one of them, I'm not 943 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:10,100 including use and but but he did appear in some lousy movies. 944 00:56:10,500 --> 00:56:14,700 But even in the lousiest movies, even dare, I say Foo Manchu. 945 00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:18,900 He'll add something. Oh, yeah, something even Foo 946 00:56:18,900 --> 00:56:21,500 Manchu. I think nayland Smith is kind of 947 00:56:21,500 --> 00:56:24,000 one of his one of his better performances. 948 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:27,200 Yeah. It was an interesting, 949 00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:30,600 interesting performance. Again, it's a lot more subdued 950 00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:32,400 than you'd expect in the fiendish plot. 951 00:56:36,300 --> 00:56:38,700 Threw money at he. And, and Hoffman is, he's 952 00:56:38,700 --> 00:56:42,400 obviously, you know, enjoying this, as I say, bracing stroll, 953 00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:48,200 through the park and Janet, is, is laggy behind because she 954 00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,400 skinned her heel. Hmm. 955 00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:53,500 And she's mutters because he just walks on. 956 00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:55,100 She mutters hanging would be too good. 957 00:56:55,100 --> 00:56:56,800 Are you might?

So she started to get a bit, you 960 00:57:04,900 --> 00:57:07,300 know, she started to gain a bit of confidence, isn't she? 961 00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:10,100 Hmm. Because At first she was just I 962 00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:12,100 guess terrified. Yeah. 963 00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:18,100 And timid you get the impression that she's you know in her 964 00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:21,400 natural habitat you be quite ballsy for want of a better 965 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,000 phrase let me get credit. Hmm. 966 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,400 And again you sort of get that with the background a we bet you 967 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,500 know you don't really get much detail about the parents but I'm 968 00:57:29,500 --> 00:57:32,400 sure I'm assuming what again you sort of do. 969 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,300 They've not been a they've not been around for a while because 970 00:57:35,300 --> 00:57:38,900 the grandmother is looks after that raised her. 971 00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,700 Yeah, I'll get Scarborough now she's looking after the 972 00:57:41,700 --> 00:57:43,200 grandmother.

Yeah. 974 00:57:44,100 --> 00:57:47,700 So yeah, I think that that side is starting to come out. 975 00:57:47,700 --> 00:57:49,500 They she's hasn't had an easy life. 976 00:57:49,500 --> 00:57:52,300 So I think that starts to come out by this point. 977 00:57:52,900 --> 00:57:55,700 Yeah, well, she kind of gains her confidence against this. 978 00:57:55,700 --> 00:58:02,400 This plane Maniac, man, shit. And then there's a little bit of 979 00:58:02,500 --> 00:58:05,300 of tenderness back at the flat when she actually allows him to 980 00:58:05,300 --> 00:58:11,100 clean up the skinned ankle to me to put liniment liniment or 981 00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:12,000 something. He puts on it. 982 00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:13,300 I'm not. Yes, yes. 983 00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:17,000 Yeah.

There's an inscription on the 993 00:58:50,508 --> 00:58:55,700 Flyleaf to Barbara and Hoffman and there's a diary as well, 994 00:58:55,700 --> 00:58:58,200 which was rather careless I think of. 995 00:58:58,300 --> 00:59:00,800 Yeah. Benjamin Hoffman to leave 996 00:59:01,100 --> 00:59:04,700 evidence around. Yeah, and she's reading aloud 997 00:59:04,700 --> 00:59:06,800 from this diary obviously for our benefit. 998 00:59:07,100 --> 00:59:09,000 Mmm. And she reads to appear in high 999 00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,400 court, three weeks, hence, Monday morning 10:00. 1000 00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,400 And while she's reading out loud, Hoffman as awoken, and he 1001 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,200 walks up to the door of the kitchen and sort of stairs are 1002 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:24,700 as she's reading this diary And and she's reading this entries, 1003 00:59:24,700 --> 00:59:27,800 which says how did she become a so short of time? 1004 00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,500 Such a vein, demanding, treacherous woman, she was old 1005 00:59:31,500 --> 00:59:34,700 enough, it should have shown from the beginning, what blinded 1006 00:59:34,700 --> 00:59:38,200 us or am I several people to think that many a man hanged for 1007 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,500 such a wife, where was my judgment? 1008 00:59:41,500 --> 00:59:45,700 And then Janet startled as husband walks in and disturbs 1009 00:59:45,700 --> 00:59:50,400 her obviously.

And then we see the big bed 1080 01:04:17,700 --> 01:04:19,300 again. Hmm. 1081 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:24,500 He's reading the Sunday Times magazine and she's she's she's 1082 01:04:24,500 --> 01:04:30,300 got constipation. Yeah, and she asks him if he's 1083 01:04:30,300 --> 01:04:35,800 got anything to relieve it and he's again, he's irked and he 1084 01:04:37,100 --> 01:04:39,800 goes I guess I think I think this always comes back to the 1085 01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:43,900 fantasy element because, you know, he is clearly, this older, 1086 01:04:43,900 --> 01:04:47,800 man with this younger woman and I'm supposedly. 1087 01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:52,700 I think he's expecting more the constipation in the bedroom, but 1088 01:04:52,700 --> 01:04:56,000 then he doesn't really do anything to incite anything 1089 01:04:56,500 --> 01:05:00,000 which Of course, will come up later on when she accuses to ask 1090 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,200 some, why? Why he's not doing anything 1091 01:05:02,900 --> 01:05:06,000 well? I think, yeah, I think, looking 1092 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:09,500 back at this film secretly, he's pleased that there's all these 1093 01:05:09,700 --> 01:05:12,900 obstacles put in his way. Yeah, you wouldn't know what, 1094 01:05:12,900 --> 01:05:14,300 you wouldn't know what to do. Yeah. 1095 01:05:14,300 --> 01:05:17,700 And he's not, he's not done. He pretends, he pretends, he 1096 01:05:17,700 --> 01:05:20,300 doesn't that. He pretends that he's annoyed. 1097 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,900 Hmm, but secretly. He's happy, he's please, yes, 1098 01:05:24,900 --> 01:05:27,000 you know. And again, I think it's Comes 1099 01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:28,600 back to the film's tired line as well. 1100 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:33,900 You know, hope never dies in a man who good dirty minds because 1101 01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:36,800 that's kind of what it is. It gives a talk EP so it's all 1102 01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:38,500 talk. There's very little action. 1103 01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:40,700 They can it. Well, it's the dog that chases 1104 01:05:40,700 --> 01:05:43,000 the car. What happens when he catches? 1105 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,100 Yeah, exactly. What he Hoffman has got what he 1106 01:05:46,100 --> 01:05:49,400 wants. It's his fantasies come true, 1107 01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,300 but this is the part of the fantasy where he has to take 1108 01:05:52,300 --> 01:05:55,300 action and he, he doesn't. Yeah. 1109 01:05:55,600 --> 01:06:00,400 She's really starting Need to gain some almost like a bit 1110 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,900 little bit of dominance over him in the sense that she loses a 1111 01:06:04,900 --> 01:06:08,200 rag, because she says he's not doing anything. 1112 01:06:08,300 --> 01:06:11,200 He's just going to sleep and snoring, and he refuses to 1113 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,300 believe that he snores. All this. 1114 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,200 There's the bit where he has that cramped like you do not. 1115 01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:29,100 Here's the cramp in his foot. We have to do is just a bit hot 1116 01:06:29,100 --> 01:06:31,600 and the ground beneath have a new question. 1117 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:38,000 What is god? Well Lincoln he is stuck with 1118 01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:39,600 some. I'm guessing. 1119 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:44,600 Yes people living underneath them but but again like even 1120 01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,300 that the flat the block of flats. 1121 01:06:46,300 --> 01:06:52,000 You never see any sign of Anything that again it kind of 1122 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,000 brings me back again. I gotta go back to Roger Deuces 1123 01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,600 idea this sort of Dracula vampire character because it 1124 01:06:58,600 --> 01:07:03,700 almost feels like that you have as you see as we're saying only, 1125 01:07:03,700 --> 01:07:06,100 The Barbers room that she's not allowed to go into. 1126 01:07:06,500 --> 01:07:10,800 There's only like certain spaces she's allowed in, and it's a wee 1127 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:13,200 bit. Like, you know, Harker going to 1128 01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:18,300 tracklist Castle usually allowed in certain areas and it has that 1129 01:07:18,300 --> 01:07:20,400 feel to it. You know, she's not Allowed to 1130 01:07:20,408 --> 01:07:23,400 go anywhere unless he said you can go there. 1131 01:07:24,300 --> 01:07:27,400 Yeah, yeah. She wakes up the next morning 1132 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:30,200 with a creek, she's quick to Nick because she slept awkwardly 1133 01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:36,300 and and she allows him to rub some ointment on to it and she 1134 01:07:36,300 --> 01:07:40,600 appears to almost enjoy it. And and he at one point his 1135 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,200 hands almost moved. Like he's about was tempted to 1136 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:47,700 strangle her. Yes, yes, she's seems very 1137 01:07:47,700 --> 01:07:51,900 conflicted in terms of wish Cease all this leading to and 1138 01:07:51,900 --> 01:07:55,000 she and then the liquid paraffin that he's given a for a 1139 01:07:55,000 --> 01:08:00,000 constipation, does its work and she has to exit the kitchen 1140 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:00,800 quickly. Yeah. 1141 01:08:01,900 --> 01:08:04,700 But you see that you see them. The next scene is them on this 1142 01:08:04,700 --> 01:08:07,500 street in London and they're standing and walking along very 1143 01:08:07,500 --> 01:08:10,800 amiably together and they stopped outside a house, a large 1144 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:15,100 house under renovation, mmm, which he reveals is going to be 1145 01:08:15,100 --> 01:08:18,800 his new flat. That's always a bit that clinic 1146 01:08:19,300 --> 01:08:22,300 confuses. Meek's, I'm thinking I'm because 1147 01:08:22,300 --> 01:08:24,800 he talks about the flat but I was kind of wondering it was he 1148 01:08:24,899 --> 01:08:27,000 buying the building converting them all into flats? 1149 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,300 Or does he just dumps? Like, I think so. 1150 01:08:29,300 --> 01:08:31,100 But again, where's the money come from, I know. 1151 01:08:31,100 --> 01:08:39,200 Yeah, exactly. Where she walks around this 1152 01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:45,600 this, this room that's undergoing renovation you and 1153 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,500 she sort of wanders around Imagining the decor that she 1154 01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:51,899 would choose if it was her. Yeah. 1155 01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,100 Git starts up playing for wallpaper. 1156 01:08:54,500 --> 01:08:58,100 We do see another actor at this point which is we Fred. 1157 01:08:58,100 --> 01:09:02,700 Fred the Builder. Yeah, which is Dave Lodge from 1158 01:09:02,700 --> 01:09:04,600 cockleshell. He wasn't cocky show Heroes 1159 01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:18,500 course. Dave lodges in it. 1160 01:09:18,500 --> 01:09:20,000 Of course. He is, of course. 1161 01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,000 It goes. I'm surprised brain starts going 1162 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:27,800 to say, he doesn't even get, I think he gets a line and that's 1163 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,399 it, isn't it? I don't think. 1164 01:09:29,399 --> 01:09:33,200 I don't think he's even really credited, you know in the 1165 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:34,000 Phillies days. Definitely. 1166 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,300 All credits start. I don't think he's credited the 1167 01:09:36,300 --> 01:09:40,899 end so I yeah, it's uncredited turn from from Dave's Lodge and 1168 01:09:40,899 --> 01:09:43,300 you're right. It does how he literally one 1169 01:09:43,300 --> 01:09:47,700 line about where it's where the sink is meant to go, or where 1170 01:09:47,700 --> 01:09:50,000 something is meant to go and Hoffman. 1171 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:53,500 Like 10 know which it should go over there and then that's where 1172 01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:55,800 Janet goes off and checked out the wallpaper. 1173 01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,000 Yeah, that's right. Come here. 1174 01:10:04,700 --> 01:10:08,300 I'll teach you something from my extensive repertoire, this is 1175 01:10:08,300 --> 01:10:11,900 known as Chopsticks, right? And you start by playing these 1176 01:10:11,900 --> 01:10:17,100 two notes together and then you go to these two notes. 1177 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,900 Little bit further apart than these two nodes. 1178 01:10:22,500 --> 01:10:25,600 And these two units. Along with mine. 1179 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:33,400 What about this in the middle? I'll do that. 1180 01:10:34,300 --> 01:10:43,000 You can do that. Start down here. 1181 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,200 You are. That'll be a duet or instant 1182 01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:48,000 cacophony. Are you ready? 1183 01:10:49,000 --> 01:11:15,500 1, 2, 3. I'm waiting for you and then we 1184 01:11:15,500 --> 01:11:20,000 have probably the best-known seen from this film the back of 1185 01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,200 his flat and they're both sitting at the piano playing 1186 01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,300 Chopsticks and really getting on well, aren't they? 1187 01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:32,400 Mmm.

And then Hoffman says, well, 1190 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:44,700 I'll pretend to be the operator. And yeah, and then that moment 1191 01:11:44,700 --> 01:11:50,500 is well he's it's almost it's the word giddy comes to mind 1192 01:11:50,500 --> 01:11:52,300 when I think of that moment.

Yeah, he's horrified, he's 1211 01:13:06,100 --> 01:13:10,300 again, it's that image in the image of him on front of the 1212 01:13:10,300 --> 01:13:11,900 life of death of Peter Sellers, that little boat. 1213 01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:15,700 But yeah, is yeah, yeah, he's only got Fortune. 1214 01:13:15,700 --> 01:13:19,700 He's only had four days with her rather than the lead week and 1215 01:13:19,700 --> 01:13:24,300 he's sort of, you can see him, just the, the cogs in his head 1216 01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:28,800 turning and he's trying to decide what what to do and then 1217 01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:32,400 you get the feeling he's decided, he has to accelerate a 1218 01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:36,800 plan because he says, he has to go out for about 20 minutes. 1219 01:13:37,700 --> 01:13:41,000 And you think, was he going out for and it, you can, you can 1220 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,700 imagine what it could be. And like, all things. 1221 01:13:44,700 --> 01:13:46,600 It's the one moment in the film there. 1222 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,900 Now, separate the entire film, they have been together there in 1223 01:13:50,900 --> 01:13:53,400 the sea.

She's a little more obvious, as 1233 01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:31,100 some of some description, and but the letters are very nasty. 1234 01:14:31,100 --> 01:14:33,800 That's say that she should be free from him and she's going to 1235 01:14:33,808 --> 01:14:37,700 be famous and, and whatnot. While Janet's reading these 1236 01:14:37,700 --> 01:14:40,500 Hoffman returns.

Well, I think, yeah, he knows. 1242 01:14:58,500 --> 01:15:01,600 He knows it's the final. I think, I think she's assuming 1243 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:06,000 that now, it's the final night.

Tom's overbearing. 1306 01:18:55,900 --> 01:18:58,600 Which I, which Hoffman and whole from the first year, earlier on 1307 01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:04,600 Disney go, like, when you're married to Tom's mother and his 1308 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:08,800 mother's obvious is mother knows all about Tom's Shenanigans and 1309 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:12,600 you and and the implication is that it was going so. 1310 01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,500 Well, she says, at one point, doesn't she? 1311 01:19:14,700 --> 01:19:18,100 Yeah, the implication is that if Tom's going to flee with Janet 1312 01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:20,500 abroad, then the mothers going as well. 1313 01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,000 Yeah. And Janet says he should go to 1314 01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,500 the police. And own up and you know you 1315 01:19:26,500 --> 01:19:29,800 might do a year and choki but it would be weird that, you know, 1316 01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,800 and she said you know, and she'll she'll say that, you 1317 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,300 know, she was in on it as well and you know, so she's not going 1318 01:19:35,300 --> 01:19:40,200 to get off scot-free but then his mother quite pointedly 1319 01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:43,100 suggests that Janet go back to Hoffman and try and reason with 1320 01:19:43,100 --> 01:19:47,200 him and Janet says, well Tom, you know, would you like me to 1321 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:51,000 go back and talk to him again and Tom's just, he doesn't. 1322 01:19:51,100 --> 01:19:54,100 He's, he wants whatever it takes, whatever he's quiet. 1323 01:19:54,100 --> 01:19:56,100 You do is what?

Cause of action Yugi. 1332 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:31,700 She heads off. And invariably she turns up at 1333 01:20:31,700 --> 01:20:34,500 Hoffman's, again, we do. But we haven't, we have a shot 1334 01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:36,800 of Hoffman in between there, don't we? 1335 01:20:36,900 --> 01:20:41,500 Where he's just sad. We do in this flat all alone and 1336 01:20:41,500 --> 01:20:45,100 apparently there's two versions of that scene, the scene that 1337 01:20:45,100 --> 01:20:49,000 you see, in the movie, where it's just him Sat, and there is 1338 01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:54,300 also a version where he cries film two versions, right? 1339 01:20:54,600 --> 01:20:58,800 Alvin David said, okay, Peter we're going to do this scene and 1340 01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:03,000 he Peta was like okay yeah but I want to cry I want to cry in 1341 01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,600 this scene and album rock or said to him. 1342 01:21:07,900 --> 01:21:11,400 You know, it's better. If it's that you it's better for 1343 01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:12,900 the ought.

I think, I think the ending. 1431 01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:33,000 It's a very, very dark film with a happy ending. 1432 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,300 Yeah. We're the bad guy. 1433 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,000 Yeah. Since the bad guy wins? 1434 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:40,500 Yeah. And again again it you do. 1435 01:26:40,500 --> 01:26:42,600 You know, we don't know. We don't learn really anything 1436 01:26:42,600 --> 01:26:45,300 about Tom except that he smuggled a couple. 1437 01:26:45,300 --> 01:26:50,900 He's And part of the cigarettes. Cigarette heists. 1438 01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,100 Yeah, but even that mean he's just the Middle East, the middle 1439 01:26:53,100 --> 01:26:54,500 man who's been passing information. 1440 01:26:54,500 --> 01:26:56,400 He hasn't been doing it themselves. 1441 01:26:56,600 --> 01:26:59,400 Let's say, but then he's got, he's got this Mother's mother 1442 01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:01,600 who has got far too much influence over him. 1443 01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:03,100 Clearly. Mmm. 1444 01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:07,600 And again, it's a very typical sort of 1960s, 1970s sort of 1445 01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:10,700 Comedy mother. Yeah. 1446 01:27:11,300 --> 01:27:19,400 Expecting a Handler Peggy mouth, but the fact that he was quite 1447 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:21,500 happy for her to go back to Half Men. 1448 01:27:21,500 --> 01:27:24,600 Yeah rather than say Over My Dead Body. 1449 01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,100 Hmm. Well what if Yak is again I 1450 01:27:27,100 --> 01:27:30,100 think the main focus comes about getting off the hook. 1451 01:27:30,300 --> 01:27:32,600 Yeah. When she says that lying, do you 1452 01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:34,700 want me to go back to him? Hmm. 1453 01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,400 You know, it's a double meaning, you know, doot-doot resin. 1454 01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,600 Do you want to go back to him? Talk about the cigarettes. 1455 01:27:40,800 --> 01:27:45,200 She's saying, do you want me to go back to him as in go back to 1456 01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:47,900 that life? That India during the last week. 1457 01:27:48,100 --> 01:27:53,200 Yeah, it's an interesting film. I would I enjoyed it as much as 1458 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,900 you can enjoy a film where you've got a terrible 1459 01:27:56,900 --> 01:27:58,900 misogynist. Yeah. 1460 01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:02,900 Dropping witty epigrams on of the shop. 1461 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:09,400 Robbing his quotes of cooked of wisdom, like you say it's not a 1462 01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:10,600 film. You'd recommend it, certainly 1463 01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:15,500 not if, if you were, if you were to say to a group of school 1464 01:28:15,500 --> 01:28:17,800 children, Hey, would you like to watch a Peter Sellers film? 1465 01:28:18,100 --> 01:28:20,800 I'd skip ad stick on and then I return of the Pink Panther. 1466 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:29,000 I wouldn't say again.

In the post, the main poster 1476 01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,700 which is the one you kind of see being used in different 1477 01:29:06,700 --> 01:29:13,300 territories, is this image of sellers looking very for Lon and 1478 01:29:13,300 --> 01:29:16,600 the image of Sinéad Cusack, push pulling up her dress Dress. 1479 01:29:16,600 --> 01:29:18,800 Yeah.
