Or, to quote a remark I have seen attributed to Sellers himself, “People will swim through shit if you put a few bob in it.”

Three Faces of ___
Scumpup, why would Eve know?
Is this a whoosh? If you threw all the maniac/asshole/bastards out of films, how many movies would ever get made?
OK, after Ron Howard and Tom Hanks collaborate, how many others? 
I’d buy that explanation for Edwards, but my impression is that Kubrick was really amazed by Sellers’ talent.
I’m guessing you’ve never seen The Magic Christian, in which that hypothesis is proven in the most practical way imaginable? 
Eve knows everything about important celebrity type people, we mearly bask in her radiance.
I wonder why it is that incredibly gifted artists can be such putzes. I hear that Rowan Atkinson (who is the only actor to make me laugh as hard as Peter Sellers) is also a major git.
Paging Mister Beckett…
Is the real Eve going to show up?
Maybe this… eeeeevening…
This is a good point. Sellers was a genius at his best, but not every time he was in front of a camera. There were some real stinkers in there (which is why he made so damned many Pink Panther movies- they were sure box office at times when his career was tanking).
Yes, she’ll be here.
She’ll be all around in the dark.
She’ll be ever’-where - wherever you can look.
Wherever there’s a centenarian Ziegfield girl’s death to announce, she’ll be there.
Wherever there’s a thread beatin’ up on Joan Crawford’s reputation, she’ll be there.
She’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad about the Tony Award nominations- she’ll be in the way silent film audiences laugh when they’re hungry and they know the candy counter will be called Blanche’s Sweets. An’ when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise, and livin’ in the houses they build - she’ll be there, too, unless she’s somewhere else.
Not many things I read online make me laugh out loud, but this did. Thanks!
I hope you don’t think that I meant The Magic Christian was a bad movie. I love that movie.
I was thinking of the part in which Sellers’ character induces people to immerse themselves in a big tank of sewage by chucking some hard currency in there. (Back in the rosy pre-Fear Factor days, when the scenario seemed absurdist and unlikely.)
It’s still the mental image I have when I hear “If you want it, here it is, come and get it – but ya better hurry 'cuz it’s going fast…”
Which is as it should be.
Perhaps she’s been staying away because, on the front page, this question’s title reads thusly:
**Question for Eve…re: Peter… ** :eek:
Well, my understanding is that there is a long story there… Well, not so much anymore, probably, but still a bit sensiti… um… personal. Personal is a good word.
