Peter Sellers - Dr. Strangelove, "Strangelove"

Peter Sellers - Dr. Strangelove

Portrait, 8 1/2 x 11 in
Lead on Paper

The multi-talented Peter Sellers is probably best remember for his zany role in Stanley Kubrick's 1964 classic, Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb as an American recruited ex-Nazi scientist.  You can almost smell the smoke from Sellers cigarette as he mutters in a  raspy snarl,  the loud squeak from the bearings on his wheel chair drowning out soft obscenities.  It had to be hard getting around the set in that clunky old prop but it won't be hard to get him into your house with the help of prints and posters!
