The Mouse That Roared
Dir: Jack Arnold
1959
****
A fantastic bit of classic Peter Sellers. You can always tell a good one by the fact that he plays more than one character. It's a very clever idea but it's always far to concerned with its own silliness to ever boast as much. It's that type of British nonsense that is universally appreciated that makes me proud, there just isn't enough of it around anymore and it's long overdue.

General Snippet: I warn you, madam - I know the entire Geneva Convention by heart!
Grand Duchess Gloriana: Oh, how nice! You must recite it for me some evening; I play the harpsichord.
