Waltz of the Toreadors (Peter Sellers) [1962].m4v

This is the end of a glorious military career: General Leo Fitzjohn retires to his Sussex manor where he will write his memoirs. Unfortunately, his private life is a disaster: a confirmed womanizer, Leo has infuriated his wife Emily, now a shrewish and hypochondriac woman, all the more bitter as she still loves him. The General has two plain-looking daughters he dislikes and an attractive French mistress, Ghislaine, with whom he has had a platonic affair for seventeen years. When Ghislaine resurfaces, determined to complete her love with him and to get rid of Emily, Leo is at a loss what to do...

A dark comedy, from the young (30s) Peter Sellers. Not a great success, compared to many of his other movies, the story of an aging man, who questions his life, trapped between different women, resonates with some.
