Review of Independent Minds: Peter Sellers

Peter Sellers! What an amazing guy, an actor of otherwordly presence and flexibility with a sharp comedic mind. But he was a troubled soul and regarded himself as not much more than an empty shell that the well-defined characters he played could manipulate at will. We learn all about him here through a cast of modern celebrities and comedic types who fawn over the late great genius. I would have read this script on a scribbled piece of crumpled notebook paper -- instead, it unfolds in a beautifully paced radio piece that never falters through the hour. Great clips of Sellers, fine narration. Highest marks!
