The Life and Death of Peter Sellers

Factual error: This film shows Sellers faking a broken leg in order to get out of playing the pilot in Dr. Strangelove. Sellers fell off a ladder on the set of the film, and director Stanley Kubrick was there to see it happen. He broke his leg and was replaced by Slim Pickens as a result.

Revealing mistake: When Britt and Peter are having sex, it is obvious she is wearing flesh coloured underwear.
