If you like Peter Sellers this is a near must-see. He plays several characters all are not well developed. It's enjoyable, but not great. It is very sad that this movie has not been made available on DVD.

The incomparable Peter Sellers shines in this 1979 comic remake of the Anthony Hope classic as he plays three roles (one relatively brief). Director Richard Quine seems a bit uneasy with the swashbuckling slapstick, but a decent cast makes up for the weak spots. In one of his final films, Sellers delivers a spot-on Michael Caine imitation as the no-nonsense Cockney cab driver. "The Prisoner of Zenda" is a pleasant romp that will not erase memories of the 1937 Ronald Colman version.

A must see for true Peter Sellers fans. Here he shows his versatility as a multi-rolled actor. Very funny depiction of a classic movie.

this is the absolute best movie ever!!! Peter Sellers at his best (yes better than A Shot in the Dark)!!!! Drop everything you are doing to buy and watch this movie 10 times over!!!!

This is the greatest movie, I have been looking for this for years, sell all your children just to buy it.

Being a fan of Peter Sellers I found this film to be one of his worst. It was very hard to watch because it was slow going and boring. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because Peter Sellers is in it and did a good job acting, no other reason.
