Based on the biography of the same name. The Life and Death of Peter Sellers is the story of the comic actor, who would later immortalize bumbling Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series. From his beginnings in show business as a variety performer to his ultimate success as a movie star, Peter Sellers was a man of many faces. But it was also that moniker that caught up with his personal life, when Sellers was a man without an identity and only a library of oddball characters to make up for his personality. Focusing on his rising success and his family life, The Life and Death of Peter Sellers is the story of a man whose personal life clashed with stardom, while he was an individual completely immersed in the characters he portrayed.

After Britt tells Peter in the bathroom that she's pregnant, Peter spins the toilet paper and it doesn't stop rolling out. This same gag happens in Peter Sellers's film The Party (1968).

Sarah Sellers:
Do you still love us?


Peter Sellers:
Oh, of course I do sweetheart. Just not as much as I love Sophia Loren.


Sarah Sellers:
What is he talking about?

Anachronisms: The entire film was shot in Europe, so the scene in which Britt Eklund and Peter Sellers visit Los Angeles a matte shot was used for the background of the hotel. The shot contained modern skyscrapers such as the U.S. Bank building which did not exist during the sixties and seventies.
