A rare public showing of this 1973 film staring Peter Sellers is to be screened by the Battersea Society at the Royal College of Art Battersea on the 28th February. Written and Directed by Anthony Simmons, Sellers as Sam, accompanied by his dog Bella, is a down-and-out music hall entertainer who gets by singing and tap dancing whilst pushing a pram with a wind-up gramophone around the streets of Battersea. Into his life come two cockney children, Liz and her brother Mark who he befriends and takes to the other side of the Thames introducing them to another world. As a result, he begins to believe in life again whilst encouraging them to be more optimistic about life. With a music score by Lionel Bart this is Sellers as a serious actor in a film of both compassion and humour.
