-Wonderfully unconventional dramedy
-Peter sellers gives such a moving performance i dont like that he didnt win the Oscar (he says it was over the whole 'end credits dispute' because it broke his character; i, for one, agree)
-i think it was symbolic of those we can and cant trust; who is being candid and who is being jovial; in this case we cant tell the difference
-location was near my hometown and served its purpose excellently
-last shot was beautifully executed; it makes us ask ourself- was he really there, or was he just there- if you know what i mean
