YES. How big a part does Peter Sellers have in this movie?

Sellers appears in only two scenes, with Peter Cook in a grubby little office full of cats, but he's one of the highlights of this great comedy. His name appears in the opening credits after the other principals, in a 'special guest star' status.

I remember soon after he died, a local tv station played this movie on the late show, constantly announcing in the commercial bumps 'Starring Peter Sellers'. They ran the reels out of sequence, and left out the scenes with Sellers. Very Clouseau of them.

TCM just reran the film as part of a Peter Sellers marathon. Some of the films were fairly obscure, like I'M ALL TIGHT JACK. In the case of THE WRONG BOX and MURDR BY DEATH, the obscurity was trying to remember where Sellers appeared in the films. Thanks for the heads up on where he appears.
