I always struggled with Peter Sellers' brand of humour and combined with an over-the-top effort from Sophia Loren here, I will admit to squirming just a bit too often for comfort. She is the eponymous millionairess who can only marry if she meets very strict conditions set by her late father - else she loses everything. She is, however, attracted to Sellers' Delhi-born, scholarly and frankly unlikely "Dr. Kabir"…
