Peter Sellers *IS* Leopold Bloom...
Jorn Barger
...Jack Cardiff had one disappointment as a director. In the early '60s,
he wanted to film James Joyce's "Ulysses," with Peter Sellers
playing its Dublin hero Leopold Bloom. Fox was ready to finance the
film, but Sellers requested a month's delay. "He was having wife
trouble," Cardiff recalled. When the month was up, a new regime had
taken over at Fox, and there was no longer any enthusiasm for
"Ulysses." Cardiff bought back the rights and tried in vain to raise
the financing himself. "The great tragedy of my life," he said sadly.
"I know I could have made a marvelous film of that."
