Overview

The Duchy of Grand Fenwick decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid.

Viewing Notes

Watching Peter Sellers in the 1959 precursor to Dr. Strangelove, The Mouse That Roared is a real treat. Stating the obvious, the film’s funniest moments are when Sellers is on screen as one of his three main characters (Duchess Gloriana being the best of the three). Worth seeking out if you enjoy Sellers and his excellent comedic work.
