Did Sellers do much in the way of writing?
I understood him to be not much more than a great comedy actor with delusions. This may actually be unfair but that is how I understand it.

comedy

There's no need for the qualifier.

Many of his films are fucking rubbish.
I include Dr Strangelove in this, it's nowhere near as good as it's made out to be and Sellers overcooks it big time.

His best film is The Party.

I like Dr Strangelove
but don't have much time for The Pink Panther movies.

I'm just a bit of an arse about comedy acting being somehow not considered to be 'real' acting, hence my post.

After the Fox is shite.
There's also one where he plays a clergyman, and that's shite and all.

He did go the sentimental route with some of his films.

I quite liked The Mouse That Roared
But then I was probably about 11 or 12 when I saw it, so it could easily be shite.

You are right.
I wanted to show that the zany humour was more the result of being on the receiving end of an 88, rather than by any inherent genius
