Synopsis:
In 1973, Peter Sellers - then at the peak of his box-office power and comedic genius - invited Peter Medak - whose recent smash THE RULING CLASS had been nominated for the Palme d'Or and an Oscar® - to direct a 17th century pirate epic called GHOST IN THE NOONDAY SUN. But with soon-to-be-discovered nightmares that included an unfinished script (re-written by co-star and fellow comedy legend Spike Milligan), rough seas, sinking ships and Sellers' own wildly erratic behavior, the production became an unprecedented catastrophe. The barely completed film was dumped into a very limited release, and the director's career and spirit were nearly destroyed by the experience. Over four decades later, Medak revisits this personal and professional fiasco to search for answers - and possibly redemption - in a journey that's been called "jaw-dropping" (The Hollywood Reporter), "nightmarishly funny" (Rolling Stone) and "one of the great 'making-of' documentaries of all-time." (San Francisco Chronicle)
