The Bobo (1967)
4/10
The best movie ever about a singing matador?
31 January 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Certainly not Peter Sellers' finest hour, but still a fairly entertaining diversion. Sellers is a singing matador who makes his way to Barcelona seeking fame & fortune. He finds entertainment impresario Adolfo Celi, who challenges him to seduce the local man eater (Britt Ekland) in three days. His reward being a featured appearance in Celi's revue. What follows is a series of goofiness as Sellers fakes his way into Ekland's life and naturally falls in love with her...it's not the most sophisticated romantic comedy and frankly it's not even particularly funny, but Sellers has his moments. He has great chemistry with Ekland (Mrs. Sellers at the time) and the supporting cast (including Rosanno Brazzi) is a treat. Directed by Robert Parrish, who was not known for pulling off comedy and the rather sluggish pacing shows. HIGH POINT: Sellers & Ekland attempting to con a pretentious furrier out of a mink coat.
