Based on Jean Anouilh's successful West End play Waltz of the Toreadors is a rumbustious comedy with strong romatic theme concerning the life and loves of an ageing General. Peter Sellers gives a skilfully-drawn performance as the woudl-be libertine General Fitzjohn playing against Margeret Leightin in a spectacularly commanding role as his bedriddem 'professional invalid' of a wife. With a BAFTA-nominated screenplay by Wolf Mankowitz Walts of the Toreadors is gorgeously captured on film by award-winning director John Guillermin.
