Ghost Of Peter Sellers (Blu-ray)

Over four decades later, director Peter Medak revisits the personal and professional fiasco that was GHOST IN THE NOONDAY SUN to search for answers.

THE NORTH AMERICAN BLU-RAY PREMIERE

In 1973, Peter Sellers - then at the peak of his box-office power and comedic genius - invited Peter Medak - whose recent smash THE RULING CLASS had been nominated for the Palme d'Or and an Oscar® - to direct a 17th century pirate epic called GHOST IN THE NOONDAY SUN. But with soon-to-be-discovered nightmares that included an unfinished script (re-written by co-star and fellow comedy legend Spike Milligan), rough seas, sinking ships and Sellers' own wildly erratic behavior, the production became an unprecedented catastrophe. The barely completed film was dumped into very limited release, and the director's career and spirit were nearly destroyed by the experience. Over four decades later, Medak revisits this personal and professional fiasco to search for answers - and possibly redemption - in a journey that's been called "jaw-dropping" (The Hollywood Reporter), "nightmarishly funny" (Rolling Stone) and "one of the great 'making-of' documentaries of all-time."
