Unidentifiable vintage car, from a reconstruction of a scene from "The Mouse That Roared":

[Image: sellersmouseik2.th.jpg]

Major anachronism, a Lancia Y10 very briefly seen in a scene that's set in the 1960s. They've superimposed Geoffrey Rush in front of stock footage of a studio in Italy.

A good reason to watch the DVD again this evening. I love that movie and it's just bullshit to see on TV today. :)
But I don't think, I can identify it. It's -if an original car, which I believe- something pre-1920 from Britain.

I suggest, that this movie would be worth to list.

I don't know this movie, but just by the plenty of goofs and anachronisms, you just can identify in a few scenes, can it be, that it's just junk, cobbled without love and carefulness? :(

I've actually considered renting this just to find out.

It's better than most TV movie biopics (it ended up being released as a TV movie in America, although I think it got a cinema release in the UK), although not quite on the same level as The Aviator, Ray or Walk the Line. It covers Sellers' life and career from The Goon Show onwards, like many biopics it has to skip over a lot of things (The actors who play Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe are virtually extras in this film, Lolita isn't in it, two of his wives aren't mentioned). Geoffrey Rush gives quite a good performance, although some may not feel that he really resembles Sellers, but a lot of actors playing real people these days try to get the "essence" of a character rather than just mimic their voice and mannerisms. Emily Watson and Miriam Margolyes are also worth mentioning.

I like this film, but maybe you should see it for yourself and make up your own mind. But don't prejudge a film by little mistakes with cars and technology, even period film has them and only sad nerds really care about that. The bit with the Lancia, it goes past so quickly I didn't even notice it until I was looking through this film for cars, and I've seen this film a few times.

I hope you can understand all that!

What on Earth does that mean? I doubt the car in this film is the one used in The Mouse that Roared.

I don't think The World of Henry Orient is mentioned in this film. Go to the IMDB page for this and click on the Movie Connections link listed in the left column. That'll tell you which films are referred to.

Peter Sellers was well known for having owned many exotic cars, this film reflects this, showing him owning a Jaguar S-Type, Bentley R-Type Continental, Aston Martin DB4, Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes 280SL [W113] (Britt Ekland's car) and a Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. At the beginning of the film, before he becomes a film star, he drives a Standard Eight. In a deleted scene he has a Porsche 911 (as he did in real life).

I mean:

a) I love the movie "The Mouse that Roared"
b) I would like to see the DVD of it (I own one), because
c) this evening is bullshit on TV
but
d) I am not sure, if I can identify the pre 1920-car, which is seen in "The Mouse that Roared"
and finally
e) I would like, if "The Mouse that Roared" would be put at IMCDB.

Got me? ;)

This is the bit that doesn't make sense;

Perhaps what you meant was "There is only shit on TV this evening" (or perhaps "There's nothing but shit on TV" would be more grammatically correct). Also in English "bullshit" is used to describe something phoney or a lie or something that's totally wrong eg. "The tabloids are full of bullshit" or "I just bullshitted him all evening". If you want to describe something that's just bad, just use the term "shit" eg. "This car is absolute shit."

Anyway, enjoy your DVD :)

Ah many thanks for your supporting. :)

Yes, the correct use of the term "shit" in its semantic and grammatical meaning is very important! Its variety is very wide, not only in the English language, in others, too.
Perhaps we should start an own thread for it in the forum. It's very important for us, here in the forum, and in the real life, too, always to be able to express ourselves correctly. :D
