2018 • dir Peter Medak w/Peter Medak, Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan • 93 min
In the vein of Burden of Dreams and Lost in La Mancha, renowned filmmaker Peter Medak (The Changeling, The Ruling Class) takes us on a deep dive into the worst, most hellish production of his life. Directing a film with comedic geniuses like Peter Sellers and Spike Milligan should have been fun – at least Medak thought that he was prepared to deal with the egos and challenges ahead – but nothing prepared him for the sheer level of disaster awaiting him. This documentary is extremely personal and emotionally raw yet also goes out of its way to seek out other voices to add to a bigger picture about what went wrong and who was responsible.
