Most people only think of Inspector Clouseau when it comes to Peter Sellers.It seems unfair because Peter Sellers was way too talented to be associated with just one role.He saved his best work for last as he took on the role of Chauncey Gardiner in Being There.His portrayal of this child like man is one of the most brilliant performances I have ever seen.It was definitely worthy of an Oscar in my opinion.I don't know if I have seen all of the Best Actor nominees for that year,but if I haven't,I can't imagine any of the rest being better than ASellers' work in this film.I also loved the film's humor as the supporting characters took on Gardiner's childlike responses as a fresh new perspective.It was smart comedy.
