In one of his best early roles, Sellers plays the wry, mild-mannered Mr Martin, the lifetime employee of a Scottish tweed company who is moved to murder when the firm is taken over by a brash, domineering American woman. One of Sellers' finest and funniest performances

Sellers stars as one of a group of slave workers drafted by the Nazis to build coastal defences during WW11. They endure hellish conditions when trapped in an underground bunker after the allies land on D-Day.

Where Does it Hurt? (1972)
