I’m always a fan of a comedy where multiple people are accomplishing a goal, but keep running into each other (like WHAT’S UP DOC). I had a tough time keeping all the characters straight as so many people look alike and everyone is in multiple costumes at the end of it. Claudia Cardinale is so pretty and charming. She has the air of a Bond girl and she is played just like Audrey Hepburn in BREAKFAST AT TIFFANYS (which was directed by the same director). I haven’t seen a lot of Peter Sellers movies (really just DR. STRANGELOVE and BEING THERE), but he is really good in this role, which obviously became his most well known role. He sets the template for so many characters that came after him like Austin Powers and Derek Zoolander. The score and the theme music is just fantastic, but the crowning achievement is the car chase at the end of the film. It is one of the funniest action scenes I’ve ever seen.
