A very nice film

A nice film, that comedy mostly derives from people's inability to tell that someone is mentally handicapped. Peter sellers is very good in it because he does not over do it and never falters the character, who more or less is an impersonation of Stan Laurel. Only one person realizing the truth is a bit far fetched but beside that this film is good.
Pros: A pleasant and nice performance from Peter Sellers. Good supporting players, and humorous and nice to watch.
Cons: Went too far to allow believability, and was I think oddly edited later on in the film especially the party scenes.
Oscar Win Best Supporting Actor Melvyn Douglas 2/5- Douglas is not bad at all as the old man who befriends Chance but he just plays and old guy in an old guy sort of way. He does not do anything …
