THE MOUSE THAT ROARED
U.K., 1959
Directed by Jack Arnold
Starring Peter Sellers, Jean Seberg, William Hartnell
Approx. 83 min. 35mm.
To qualify for American foreign aid—only losers need apply—the Duchy of Grand Fenwick’s medieval twenty-man horde invades New York. Sleeper comedy, a modest hit in the U.K., but a monster in the U.S., with Sellers as Duchess, Prime Minister, and humble soldier, and getting his first screen kiss from captured scientist’s daughter Jean Seberg (star of Godard’s BREATHLESS that same year).
