Blake Edwards, who directed Sellers in the “Pink Panther” films, did not find him the easiest person to work with. One night, having wasted an entire day on one particular scene, Edwards was awakened by a phone call from Peter. “I just talked to God,” he said excitedly, “and He told me how to do it.”
The following day, Edwards set the cameras rolling to capture the results of Sellers’ divine inspiration. The results were disastrous. “Peter,” sighed the harassed director, “next time you talk to God, tell Him to stay out of show business.”
