Soft Beds, Hard Battles
1974 · TMDB 4.6
Directed by Roy Boulting
In this comedy, set during the Nazi occupation of France, Peter Sellers plays most major male parts, so he stars in nearly every scene, always bumbling in inspector Clouseau-style.
Why it matters
A wartime farce with Peter Sellers in multiple roles, set in a French brothel used by the Resistance. Its playful take on identity and performance sets the stage for the chain's exploration of masks and rituals.
