• Peter Sellers Collection - Blockhouse/Where Does It/Orders Are | DVD | (13/10/2008) from £18.88   |  Saving you £-5.89 (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  An enigmatic but deeply talented man Peter Sellers remains one of the finest British actors to grace our screens. This special Box Set collection pays tribute to his full range of acting abilities - from the farce comedy to the action drama - with three contrasting yet equally entertaining films. Orders Are Orders: A sleepy army barracks is about to be overrun by a film company shooting a science fiction caper - much to the annoyance of the Divisional Commander who decides to make a surprise inspection. The Blockhouse: A group of POW's is forced to seek shelter deep inside a Nazi Blockhouse packed with supplies and hidden treasures. When the bombardment causes the walls to collapse and there is no hope of escape their physical comfort gives way to mental disintegration that provides these hardened soldiers with their toughest test of the war. Where Does It Hurt? In this classic hospital farce Sellers plays a greedy and crooked hospital administrator who has perfected the duplicitous arts of conning insurance companies bill-padding and unnecessary surgery. Ably abetted by Jo-Ann Pflug (MASH) and Pat Morita (Karate Kid Happy Days) Sellers puts in a show-stealing performance that lives long in the memory.
