Goofs

Sellers shaves off his beard in the airplane lavatory, but has a healthy five o'clock shadow when he emerges seconds later.

In the scene where Peter Sellers is working out, he is not wearing glasses. But in the next shot, while talking to Britt Ekland, he is suddenly mysteriously wearing the glasses.

When Sellers' father is in the hospital, his oxygen mask is initially on upside down. In subsequent shots, the mask is right side up.

A cinema marquee advertises Ghost in the Noonday Sun (1974) despite the fact that this film was shelved until after Sellers' death and never received a theatrical release. Similarly, The Blockhouse (1973) didn't have a U.K. theatrical release but is shown playing on a London marquee.

When they started dating, Peter Sellers took Britt Ekland to see The Pink Panther (1963), not Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), as depicted in the movie.

When they are filming the scene in the war room in _Dr. Strangelove (1962)_ (q), you can see that the table is blue. However on the real set of "Dr. Strangelove" the table was covered in green fabric.

In the film Peter Sellers made The Pink Panther (1963). then was hired by Stanley Kubrick to make Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) In actuality, "Dr. Strangelove" was made first, in 1962, and "The Pink Panther" was made one year later, in 1963. The film shows Columbia pictures asking Stanley Kubrick to hire Sellers because "The Pink Panther" was such a hit. In reality, Columbia was convinced Kubrick's previous film Lolita (1962) was a hit because of the way Sellers' character disguised himself as other characters adopting various accents, and that he would be good in multiple roles due to his performance in The Mouse That Roared (1959). At the time that "Doctor Strangelove" was released, American audiences had previously seen Sellers play multiple roles in The Mouse That Roared (1959), but Sellers was not yet the major star in America he would become when "The Pink Panther" was released. It has been suggested many American audiences did not realize one actor was playing multiple roles.

In the scene from Revenge of the Pink Panther (1978), Sellers' parrot is on his left shoulder. In the actual movie it is on the right shoulder.

The soundtrack does not match Peter's life chronology. He couldn't listen to Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" when he met Britt Ekland in 1964 (one year before it was released), Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" the same year (actually released in 1967) and David Bowie's "Space Oddity" divorcing Britt in 1968 (actually released one year later).

When Peter Sellers is in Rome to play the first "Pink Panther" he's shown in front of "Cinecittà", the most famous cinema studio in Italy. While Sellers is standing in front of the studio, a car passes behind: it's an Autobianchi Y10, an Italian car, first introduced in 1985, its appearance being 22 years too early.

The entire film was shot in Europe, so the scene in which Britt Eklund and Peter Sellers visit Los Angeles a matte shot was used for the background of the hotel. The shot contained modern skyscrapers such as the U.S. Bank Building which did not exist during the sixties and seventies.

Sellers, along with some ladies, is seen riding in a stretch limousine version of a late-1980s Mercury Grand Marquis. This scene is supposed to be set sometime between Sellers' divorce from Britt Ekland in 1968 and the filming of The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976), and Sellers died in 1980, years before this car was was in production.

When Sellers finds out (via the newspaper) that Britt Ekland is arriving in London it is the early 1960s, yet on the wall of his room at the start of the scene is the UK film poster for his film Undercovers Hero (1974).

During filming of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). Sellers is in his dressing room practicing one of Group Captain Mandrake's lines, saying, "I can assure you, Major Bat Guano, if that is indeed your name." In the film Bat Guano was a colonel, not a major.
