This Movie On Demand premiere is a restored version of the only movie directed by actor Peter Sellers. Also known as I Like Money, this 1961 comedy stars Sellers as a schoolteacher who refuses to inflate the failing grade of a privileged student. It’s noteworthy not only because Sellers does double duty as director, but because one of his co-stars in Herbert Lom. Three years later, Lom would reunite with Sellers, playing the twitchy boss of Sellers’ bumbling Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther entry A Shot in the Dark.
