Mr. Strangelove: A Biography of Peter Sellers

Mr. Strangelove is the story of a screamingly funny, desperately unhappy soul. Sellers himself identified most personally with the character he played in Being There -- an utterly empty man on whom others projected what they wanted, or needed, to see.

On Sunset Boulevard Built on extensive new research and interviews, On Sunset Boulevardcombines detailed biography with in-depth criticism of Wilder's work, from his journalism in Vienna and Berlin to his German film scripts and Hollywood feature films.
