“That strange moment is one of the scenes I’ve always loved.”

“To fit in, he laughs a little at everything, tries to participate in conversations. And at one point he approaches a couple who are talking to the owner of the house.

Christian Klavier then explains that despite the explanations of the other guests, the eccentric character played by Peter Sellers does not change his attitude at all, continues to laugh and leaves:

“This strange moment with this brilliant actor is one of the scenes I’ve always loved.”
