One of the most unsettling films in the Peter Sellers canon, Hoffman sees the actor in a sinister starring role as a bachelor who obsesses over his secretary (Sinéad Cusack) and, discovering that her boyfriend (Jeremy Bulloch) has been fiddling the books at work, blackmails her into spending a week with him. Their time together reveals Hoffman’s tragic, lonely existence. Alvin Rakoff directs a film which is by turns amusing, poignant and uneasy, and which boasts a central performance so uncomfortable and revealing that its star tried to have the film’s negative destroyed.

In Hoffman, Sellers' mastery is fully showcased, not just because he was great for comedic roles, but because he could deliver dramatic, tragic roles in a comedic manner, sometimes freezing you in certain scenes. One of the best and most versatile actors in history.
