A Little Known Sellers masterpiece.... (2003-03-25)  'The Bobo' is one of Sellers' less known films, but shows his great ability to take on a character and run with it. Although his 'Barcelona' accent is far from perfect (contrary to his great vocal renditions of other accents), this film is a delightful romp of a guy who is commissoned to get 'The Girl' (the famous model 'Britt Eckland', who Sellers married) in a 3 day period. He goes from newcomer to suave Ladykiller in those few hours. The second scene, where he introduces our Lady into a Grecian palace scene, replete with 1700's dandy, is priceless...if only we could see the outtakes...from the overly 'dandy' introduction to the manic scenes of Sellers dancing a hip modern beat....won't give away the final scenes...but this film is a true Sellers gem...
Olympia....aaahhhhh.... (2000-07-05)  Good stuff here. Sellers is delightful in a deliciously obscure little flick that is impossible not to love. While certainly not his best known work, if unaccompanied by hype, THE BOBO is sure to please. Enjoy this unknown gem to the max!!!!
An Odd but Rather Charming Little Film (1999-07-12)  "The Bobo" is a strange little film. It's intended as a comedy, yet it rarely goes for a big laugh. There are no comic set-ups, no pratfalls, no goofy characters as in a typical Peter Sellers comedy. It seems content to make the viewer smile, and it works on that level. Sellers is amusing and charming as Juan Bautista -- you can't help but like the little guy. The great comic brings a warmth and humanity to a role that could easily have been a stereotype or a caricature. Britt Eklund is stunning as Olympia; her beauty is reminiscent of early Bardot. She's well cast as a spoiled girl who coasts through life on her magnificent looks! The plot is a little mean-spirited, but Sellers brings a touching quality to his role which makes the viewer accept that sometimes good people can do bad things. While this is certainly not classic Sellers, it is a pleasant and pleasing little oddity that serves to show that the actor could create a rather moving character when he didn't have a script full of bellylaughs to work with!
