Transcript

The proud land that gave you Queen Victoria, the Beatles, the Loch Ness Monster, Jack the Ripper, and Scurvy. Now brings you the optimists, the towering heroic and funny spectacle of Sam the Wonder Man and his dog Bella.

That's the Italian for beautiful. Sam, he's got madness in his closet, everybody in trouble, the police in circles and the world in his pocket. Paramount Pictures proudly presents Peter, I change my mind more often than you change your underwear, Sellers, in the Optimists, with music by Lionel Bart of Oliver fame, and Fish and chips by Sam the Wonder Man.

The optimists in colour, reddit, p.j. parental guidance suggested. Shon time. It wasn't ours as bad as all that. What are you staring at? You. Hey, this old mum. He played Nick Knack on my drum with a Nick Knack, buddy.

One, give a dog a bone. This old mum came rolling all right from the start. People know that this man is something special. He's Sam, the king of the optimists, filling your heart with laughter and your soul with magic.

All they use to call him Mary. Peter Sellers plays the optimist, part street musician, part storyteller, part clown. He's everything your family wants in a warm and wonderful and never-to-be-forgotten motion picture. If you love children, if you love music, if you love love, you'll love the optimists.

See Peter Sellers in the Optimus.
